Revocable Living Trust
Nevada Revocable Living Trust – Avoid Probate with a Las Vegas Estate Planning Attorney
Learn how a Nevada revocable living trust not only provides protection but avoids probate and ensures your assets are distributed correctly to your loved ones.
Last Will and Testament vs a Nevada Revocable Living Trust
Contrary to popular belief, all Last Wills and Testaments go through probate court while a Revocable Living Trust avoids probate. Since all Wills go through probate courts, many clients desire to retain a Nevada estate planning attorney to help prepare a revocable living trust based on their needs and goals.
What is a Last Will and Testament?
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document and does the following:
- Specifies how your assets and property will be distributed upon your passing.
- Designates your executor and personal representative who will manage your estate and pass the assets and property onto your beneficiaries upon your passing.
- Appoints guardians for your minor children.
What Is a Revocable Living Trust?
A revocable living trust is a legal document that avoids probate and does the following:
- Allows you to transfer (tax-free) your assets and property into a trust during your lifetime for your use and benefit.
- Allows you to retain control of all assets and property as trustee while you are alive and of sound mind.
- Allows you to name people you trust such as a successor trustee to help you when you become incapacitated or pass away.
- Is revocable – so it is amendable and revocable at any time.
- Avoids the expensive and timely probate court process.
- Keeps your assets private.
- Provides protection to your property and assets upon your incapacity.
- Can hold or own real property in every state across the entire nation without multiple probate cases.
- Save federal income taxes.
- Save federal estate taxes.
- Provides protection to the beneficiaries from the following: creditors, divorcing spouses, eligibility of government assistance like Medicaid and SSDI, drug abuse or dependency, and can protect their inheritance from bad relationships and coercive friends or ex-spouses.
A revocable living trust is like a box and can hold and own all your assets. By owning your assets in a “box” or a revocable living trust instead of your name it provides protection upon your death or incapacity. Although drafting a revocable living trust is like drafting a contract, having it done by experience estate planning attorneys is going to guarantee that your documents or contracts are prepared properly.
