Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - How to Create Your Own Living Trust is a practical, step-by-step manual designed to demystify estate planning for the average person. It focuses primarily on the revocable living trust as a superior alternative to a simple will, emphasizing control, privacy, and cost savings.Core Philosophy: Avoiding ProbateThe book's central argument is that probate-the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person's estate-is a slow, public, and expensive headache. By placing assets into a living trust, you technically no longer 'own' them individually; the trust does. Consequently, when you pass away, there is no need for court intervention because the trust continues to exist.Key Benefits Highlighted- Speed: Assets can often be distributed to beneficiaries in weeks rather than the months or years required by probate.- Privacy: Unlike a will, which becomes a public record, a trust remains a private document.- Incapacity Planning: The trust outlines who manages your affairs if you become mentally or physically unable to do so, avoiding the need for a court-ordered guardianship.The Step-by-Step ProcessThe guide breaks down the creation of a trust into manageable phases: 1.

Drafting and ExecutionThe book provides templates and legal language for the 'Trust Document.' It emphasizes that for the trust to be valid, it must be signed (usually in front of a notary) according to state-specific laws.4. 'Funding' the TrustThe Golden Rule: A trust is just an empty box until you put something in it. The most critical step is re-titling your assets. This means changing the name on your house deed or bank account from 'John Doe' to 'John Doe, Trustee of the John Doe Living Trust.'. …
