A living trust is an agreement entered into whereby you are controlling the disposition of your assets in the event of your incapacity or your death. A living trust is an important document to have in order to avoid the probate process in California if something were to happen to you. It is also beneficial in situations where a couple is married and they set up a living trust. In the event that one of them passes, you have the ability to shelter assets from future estate taxes. I'm Lisa Allred and I'm a team member of Wealth Strategies Council. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your estate planning, trust administration, and probate needs.
