Estate Planning Tips - A Living Trust Dear John , A Living Trust is a document that many people use in their estate planning. A Trust both avoids Probate (which in the state of California occurs when an estate is valued at $150,000 and above) and keeps your financial affairs private. When creating a Trust, you are creating a separate legal entity into which you transfer valuable property. By naming yourself as its Trustee, you control the property in it. You can sell it, give it away, or simply enjoy its use - or you can name others to reap its benefits now or after your death. Learn more about Living Trusts.
