What Are The Benefits of a Living Trust?

A Living Trust is a planning technique that offers benefits to virtually all Californians. It is particularly appropriate for individuals who are older or who have substantial assets. If you own a home in California, a living trust makes sense for you.

In a very real sense, a Living Trust is a new being. It will hold your property while you are living, and it will continue in existence after your death.
