A Revocable Living Trust is an attractive alternative to a conventional Will. Probate is a public process. A Revocable Living Trust is a tool that allows you to maintain control and privacy, and insure that your last wishes are honored. It also allows you to keep control over the trust property during your life. After your death all property will be transferred to your heirs without the necessity of Probate.
