Don't Let an Empty Trust Undermine Your Planning
Creating a revocable living trust is a great step, but it’s only the beginning. If you don’t take the next step to fund your trust, your assets may still end up in probate court, which means your wishes could be delayed, disputed, or even ignored.
Many families we consult with are surprised to learn that just having a trust isn’t enough. The trust must be properly “funded,” meaning your assets need to be legally transferred into it.
What Is Trust Funding—and Why It Matters
Trust funding means legally transferring your assets into the trust. Without this step, the trust can’t control those assets, and your family may still face probate or legal delays, even if the trust was properly created.
Here’s how it works:
- Your home and real estate may need to be retitled so the trust becomes the official owner
- Bank and investment accounts should either be retitled or have the trust named as a beneficiary.
- Other properties, such as vehicles, business interests, and valuables, may also need to be assigned to the trust or included in a supporting document.
Each asset has its process, and overlooking even one can undermine your estate plan.
That’s why we walk with you every step of the way– helping you fund your trust thoroughly and correctly, so nothing gets left out. With our guidance, your trust will function as intended, and your loved ones will be spared unnecessary complications.
