Berks County Living Trusts Attorneys

Securing The Legacy Of Our Clients in Pennsylvania

The most commonly used alternative to a simple will-based estate plan is a revocable living trust plan.

A revocable living trust is established by an individual (the "grantor") during their lifetime in which the grantor reserves the right to alter, amend, or revoke the trust.

What is a Living Trust?

A living trust is a legal document where you transfer ownership of your assets to a trust during your lifetime. It allows for the management and distribution of these assets if you become incapacitated or after your death, avoiding the probate process.

In any trust, there are three parties 

  • Trustor/Grantor: The person or persons who create the trust.
  • Trustee: The individual or corporation who is in charge of the assets held in the trust.
  • Beneficiaries: The person or persons who are to receive the benefit from the assets.

While in some cases three distinct parties may serve as the grantor, trustee, and beneficiary, in most living trust estate plans, the same person serves all roles.
