A revocable living trust should be included in your estate plan if you want to:
Control your assets during lifetime and after you die without court interference
Keep your affairs private and provide for quick distribution to your beneficiaries after your death
Avoid the time and expense of probate
Protect your assets for your spouse and family upon your death
Allow those you love and trust to make decisions regarding your capacity without waiting for a physician’s letter that may never come
Avoid the necessity to appoint a guardian or conservator of your estate.
