When creating an estate plan, people must choose between wills and revocable living trusts. For many California residents, revocable living trusts are the ideal option. A living trust allows you to maintain control of your assets while you’re alive and set the distribution rules for when you pass away. These legal documents can also protect your assets if you become incapacitated, and because you retain control, you can make changes at any time. Possibly most importantly, assets inside of revocable living trusts don’t go through probate, so your beneficiaries won’t have to worry about spending the time or money on legal proceedings before receiving inherited property.
