What is a Living Revocable Trust?
Today's blog will be short and simple because I am expecting a phone call. A Revocable Living Trust or otherwise known as Living Revocable Trust is a Trust that may be changed or amended. Simply put, an Living Trust is a living and breathing document while you are alive unlike a will. A Living Trust is a fictional person similar to a business or corporation.
The benefit of a Living Trust is it is designed to avoid probate court unlike a will. In Illinois, when one has real estate, generally one must plan in advance to avoid the court called "probate court".
Probate court is a court which hears inheritance issues when somebody has deceased with a will or without a will.
