Living Trusts Explained In Under 3 Minutes

Often, when one dies, they do so with assets in their name, such as real estate, stock, and business interests. These assets are often referred to as probate assets, because when you die with them in your name, your heirs cannot access them until they go through the court and attorney-involved probate process that takes place at a courthouse.
Many people often own some non-probate assets, like life insurance and retirement accounts, that are payable directly to beneficiaries upon your death - no judges, attorneys, or court orders required.
Some people create a living trust, transfer their probate assets to their living trust, and your trust provides what happens to the trust assets upon your death - who is in charge and who is entitled to own the trust assets. Assets titled in the name of your trust when you die do not need to go through the court and attorney-involved probate process.

Hi Paul, your videos are so helpful, can’t thank you enough. There’s so much to learn about so many complex topics. Can you cover the unclaimed property topic. Because so many assets go undiscovered it’s seem to be quite a problem. Also, a whole life policy popped out of thin-air; because I didn’t get a claim form in within 90 days the policy’s full settlement significantly changed!? I’m thinking it disappeared overnight into unclaimed property. 🤦🏼‍♀️How can this happen? Something doesn’t seem right about this. Do you have some insight here? Thanks

[@PilgrimHymns]

So am I understanding this right? If I have a living trust, the trustee can just take the "living trust" papers and the titles of the properties and give them to people they are meant for? Or if the living trust says to sell a property and then divide up the money that the trustee can just do that??? Who is the ones that helps them put the titles into others' names? Who do you go to?

[@robskully3539]

yes … My Mom had a revocable trust and I was the Trustee and Power of Attorney. When she passed I was able to sell her house and split the proceeds with my 3 Sisters immediately. You can have the trust say your wishes anyway you want. Like even after the property is sold you can have it divided and given out as you wish. We even had our trust specify how our pets are taken care of if we pass before them. Trusts can be made many different ways and THAT is why you should only use an Estate Planning Attorney.

[@earthangel6858]

I need both a living trust and a will?

[@Just_forfun9140]

Please always mention tax rates whenever you cover trusts, i.e. are they taxed on individual personal tax rate or at a trust tax rate which I hear are very high in some cases. Thanks.

[@sethtenrec]

That would only apply to 8 digits estates ($10,000,000+) … not enough people in that category to worry about. They can probably hire an attorney instead of watch KZbin videos as well…

It seems like the biggest problem with a revocable trust is that you can't put your biggest assets in them (ie. 401k and IRA accounts ... those need beneficiaries).

What do you mean with or without a will ...i just did you will video

[@cherrylbundy3724]

I do know that what's in will can be designated according to your wishes after probate. without a will, the state includes itself as someone you left money too besides any other relatives. A pour over will, includes anything you recently purchased or forgot to include in your trust.

Doesn't an irrevocable living trust protect your assets from Medicaid in the event you need nursing home care? That allows you to qualify for medical assistance without losing everything you've worked for all your life. In Indiana, a revocable trust puts your assets at risk but an irrevocable protects them. This is just information I've discovered recently since I began my estate planning. Does anybody know if all that is actually accurate information?

[@robskully3539]

yes you are right. Problem with Irrevocable Trusts are that they have to be put in someone else’s name and you must truly trust them for your best interests.

[@nadirahcroom1938]

[@robskully3539]

@@nadirahcroom1938 I am not a Lawyer or expect about Trusts. I did sit in when my Parents did theirs and also now have my own. I stated was sort of worded wrong. You can have the Trust be in your name but … YOU can not be listed as the Trustee. That is what I meant to imply. The Government here in the USA does not want to see YOU have any control of your money. So like I said when you list a Trustee on the Irrevocable Trust you must totally trust this person to have the right intentions for your future.

Do you need a living trust (or last will & testament) if you are married and want everything to go to your wife should you pass?

[@robskully3539]

I believe it all depends on what State you live in. That is why EVERYTHING we own has BOTH our names on it. Example … House, bank accounts, cars, trucks… anything that has a Title or needs names for ownership. This way it always goes to the other person on the document no matter what State you live it. We now also have a Living Revocable Trust and all the other related documents… Power of Attorney and all the Healthcare documents.

[@Broommaker19]

You need a " life estate" on your home. You put it in her name. You get to live there and she can't borrow against it or sell your home until you pass. After 5 years your home then is not subject to state confiscation to pay for healthcare if that is a concern. If she lives with you for 2 or 3 yrs that satisfies the state requirements because she provided you healthcare in your home and lives with you. She gets the home. You should check also if have can your home transferred to a trust to dictate terms of what your wishes are for her best intrest as to her keeping or selling if you are concerned about her having a place to live.

[@robskully3539]

@@Broommaker19… you are partially WRONG about the 5 year rule. The trust has to be an Irrevocable Trust for the 5 year rule. A Revocable Trust will not hide assets from nursing homes.
