Does a trust avoid probate?
A. Yes, if properly funded. One of the most important benefits of a Trust is that it is designed to protect you while you are alive. Part of a Trust is a section that sets forth your instructions in the event you become legally incapacitated. You can create your preferred care plan in advance of sickness, disability and even old age. The Trustees you pick are bound by law to follow your instructions during these difficult times. With a Trust, there will not be any need for expensive “help” from the Probate Court, Probate lawyers or conservators.
