How to Fund a Living Trust – AVOID PROBATE


Knowing how to fund a Living Trust in California is vital to avoid COSTLY probate! Don’t treat your Living Estate like a legal junk drawer—make sure you have what you need in there! Even with a small estate, you can potentially LOSE MILLIONS if you don’t fund your Living Trust correctly as probate fees can really add up quickly!

Correctly funding a Living Trust – where you transfer assets from your name and put them into the name of the trust—is a crucial part of estate planning.

Only an estate planning expert—not a generalist—can show you where the LOST OPPORTUNITIES are to hold on to your money.

In this legal webinar we talk about eight big mistakes people make when funding their living trust including:

• Not putting a house in a Living Trust

• Not putting annuities in a Living Trust
