After my dad died and my mom had a little Money. I told her mom go out and buy yourself some new furniture . Buy a nice washer and dryer. Go to bingo everyday if you want to. My mom scrimped and saved all her life because we were poor. When it was my birthday I honored my mother because she carried me for 9 months and gave me life. When she died I was devastated. She left a couple thousand dollars to me and I couldn't even spend it. I kept thinking about the time she could have used it when I was a little kid. But she did go out and treat herself to New furniture and did spend most of it. She had a stroke and I was there every day. I didn't even think about my job. I thought how many times she sacrificed for us. Please be good to your parents. They gave you life.

[@memeyers1962]

I know how you feel. My mom lived with us the last 17 years of her life. When she got sick i didn’t hesitate to care for her. I was honored to see the woman brought me into the world out of this world. My brother who did nothing in the last 17 years for her. When she needed new tires i informed him she didn’t have the money….crickets. My husband I cover 60% (all we could afford). Over the years i provided for her as she provided for me growing up and a few times as an adult. Do you know he took 1/2 her insurance after burial expenses, but he did let me keep all funds from the sale of her car ($3000 after my expenses waiting for probate). Wasn’t super nice of him? Forgot to mention her insurance was only $25,000 after expenses. I’m feel greedy, but if the roles were reversed I wouldn’t taken half, if any at all.

I am an only child and my parents have been advised by their lawyer to make sure they have a living trust and not just a will. My mom literally said to me: “we don’t want to put you through the nightmare of the courts”. Their lawyer is a knowledgeable person and Toby thanks for explaining everything.

[@MsDsaunders]

Good thing. Going into probate court takes 42%, per our living will trust attorney. I highly recommend a living will trust.

[@Ceilingkatwatchesus]

Yup. Don’t get a will. I’m going through this with my now deceased father. I just pulled out because I’m pretty fiancial stable and my dad had all this debt. That the probate lawyer told me it’s not really worth paying all this money for very little return. I respectfully dropped her services and my narcissistic brother can have the few thousand that will be left over from our father’s estate. To me it’s not worth it. It was a horrible basic will.

[@bryangriffin3139]

My mother-in-law had a trust and when she died, it was really hard but she had a living trust and all we had to do is open up the book and follow the instructions. It was so easy. I want to thank her for making it easy for my wife in this trying time, it was so easy I believe in living trust everything worked out properly. It was just perfect.

Now we are well off and now started giving money to our daughter and two granddaughters.. Great presentation.

Thank you for explaining Living trust versus Will in a very clear way. I have never heard explained as simple and as you'd done. This is going to be a game changer for a lot of people listening to this.

[@ksmith2852]

Don't do it. It only benefits the attorneys. Almost 70 percent of living trusts are never funded. Meaning the trust is like a shopping cart and your assets are like the products you put in a cart. Everytime you buy an asset, or sell an asset, guess what..the estate planning attorney or CPA will charge you to update the trust and it is not cheap. Furthermore, if you try to say get a mortgage but your securities at a brokerage are held in the trust you will have to get a notarized ($$$) copy of the trust not just show them your statement from your brokerage.

[@TobyMathis]

@@ksmith2852 Thank you for voicing your opinion. I disagree, but get where you are coming from. Lawyers make billions (with a "B") from probate fees. According to studies, including AARP, the average costs of transferring assets via probate are in the 15-20% range. There are also things like financial & health matters during your lifetime - both of which are also addressed in a living trust. Even unfunded, a living trust is better than a will as there is still a pour-over will included in a living trust that dumps everything into the trust. What it eliminates is public disclosure of what is going to whom as well as the litigation between beneficiaries. Too much here for a simple response, but suffice it to say, I disagree.

I knew some of the information about Living Trust but not all, it was mind blowing to find out what you can do with a living trust and I really don’t think my dad knew that too because he left it to my sister and my niece and my sister (niece mom) took everything & still complained. There was provision for all his grandchildren but my sister turned around sold all the property and put it under her name because she was the executor. Now everything is gone, no one has anything and she even convinced her siblings to give her money because of property taxes which she pocketed. Greed beyond imagination! Thank you for this information, I will definitely look into this!

[@TobyMathis]

Thank you for watching!

[@cherylfauth9543]

She could have gotten in legal trouble as executor for not following the will. The executor is responsible to fulfill the wishes of the person whose will it is.

[@tracygaluszynski1868]

A living trust is the way to go. No messy probate. You as a trustee are that person when that person passes away. Everything goes to you.

[@akag-bomb5235]

Toby, been watching you for years and learned a lot. But this is probably one of the best videos so thanks for some of the suggestions! My mom's one asset was a house that was purchased in 1977 for $40k but sold for $1.1m (California) when she passed last year with the proceeds sitting in a specialized account until distributions are made. She had Alzheimers but she passed peacefully in her home as outlined in her AHCD which was part of the set of legal documents she had set up in her living trust. As the trustee of her estate, I am witnessing firsthand the grief and greed that you so aptly described. The beneficiaries are pulling out the stops. One beneficiary asked for their distribution immediately after mom passed, another contested the trust, and the last has filed a petition to have me removed claiming I had undue influence over her when she named me the trustee. But the trust was set up in 1979 (updated every 10 years with me named as the successor trustee every single time) when she was of sound mind so the net effect is that legal fees can still drain the trust by belligerent beneficiaries. Yes, those legal fees will eventually be recouped at their expense. It's stupid though. My mom would be mortified if she knew what was happening.

Very sorry for your loss of your Mother. I am and was a trustee for several people & family members, the greed I see is beyond belief! And yes, it is so very stupid. And yes I got accused of influencing, but the funny thing was when we had asked the greedy beneficiaries to help me as trustee to take care of the person so they had an idea of what was going on and could be paid a wage from the estate (and end up getting more money in the end than the others because they were being paid out of the same pot), not a one would step up. They wanted the money without the work. LOL...greedy, lazy and stupid...just unbelievable. Take care of yourself.

Excellent information, our family is fractured now because of a will that was changed days before dad died. Resentment, envie, and greed motivated a couple siblings to prey on his despair and get him to change his will.

It is beyond my comprehension why siblings plot to hurt one another, but the love of money does funny things to people.

In California if your estate is over a certain amount they take something like 58% for probate. My best friend growing up lost Millions before they got done because his parents refused to put anything in a trust because they thought somebody would steal the trust from them and other silly rumors. They have four houses and a total of six million dollars in the estate. There was only him and his brother the brother who was causing all kinds of trouble. They had two boats but his brother wanted both boats stuff like that. Before probate was done a 6.5 million dollar estate dwindled down to 1.2 million each for the brothers.

Everything would be organized & easy. When our mom passed, it was a lot of paperwork, phone calls, transferring everything everything to our dad, etc.....He saw what a hassle that was & that is why he agreed to do the trust.

[@mysticzyoga]

My dad always said he had a trust, (even mentioned it the month or so before he died but I dismissed it as confusion.) He even mentioned how glad he was that he left everything to me (just hours before he died.) I really thought he was just sharing a nice sentiment and I was grateful for his fond thoughts, thinking they were memories of an old man of a time that was long gone in his life. I mean, I knew he was living off of his savings for the last 20 years and there was no paperwork. The only thing I found was something that let me know my father became an angel investor of sorts when he first moved to Arizona over 15 years ago. I found nothing at his bank and I am certain my brother is searching and hiring lawyers due to his attempts at causing the family nightmare. My dad always mentioned since the 80s that everything should be in a trust. Thing is, he never told anyone where, how, under what name and there is no documentation to be found.

He only presented a very basic positive side of Trusts. He is a salesman. There is a huge dark side of Living Trusts. Do your research from sources who do not make money from you opening a Living Trust, funding and changing the trust, and administering it when you die. The last cost is hidden; you are dead so you can't complain about the charges and the beneficiaries don't know any better and have no recourse other than sue.

Your explanations are refreshing and easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time. I have just become a new subscriber!

[@whar2010]

My concern is the fact that anything included in the trust becomes an asset to any of the persons listed in the trust and therefore becomes subject to legal actions, should any of the listed folks get in trouble (auto accident, etc) and the court rules they are responsible for payment. So in short, everything listed in the trust could be lost before you are deceased or before anyone can take ownership in the event of your death. In theory you could be kicked out of your house and loose it if one of your kids have a legal liability issue. Not a risk most people would consider if they give it any real thought….

A living will is very different than a revocable living trust.

[@zarfer]

Wife and I did a living trust in 1992. She passed in 2015. Just sold our house which was in the trust. Found out one half of the estate was in my name and the other half was in the trust. I was shocked when the title company informed me. I received a check for half of the proceeds. The other half was a check made out to my trust. It has to be deposited to our trust bank account which we never had. I hope to see my attrney at church Sunday to see what I have to do as my credit union will not allow me to deposit the check. Talked to the bank the check was drawn on and was told I have to have an acount with them and then establish a trust account. Really perturbed at the attorney which set it up but he is long gone from here.

[@maxcorder2211]

You’re not making any sense. You start off talking about the house and then say half the ESTATE was in your name and half was in the trust. The problem is that either the house or other assets were not properly titled into the name of the trust. Don’t blame the attorney, it’s your estate and you’re responsibility to do it.

[@Oldmadman-z3s]

@@maxcorder2211 You're not making any sense, we've been deceived into believing it's the client's responsibility to perform dozens of complex steps in an administration with the Trust being the first step. Then we have to fund, record, arbiter monitor, mentor grantors, referee grantees, appoint guardians for minors, prevent conservatorships, draft medical directives, inventory and appraise so everyone gets their share, validate check for trust forgeries, certify no counterfeits, monitor distributions, interdict power of attorneys, defend titles and the list goes on to settle administrations.

[@arthurwilliams3175]

There are things people can do besides a trust such as PODs, survivorship deeds if married, joint bank accounts etc. Trusts can still be changed by a surviving spouse and this can get really messy if it is a second marriage and there are children from the 1st who you want to eventually inherit your assets. If you leave your assets for the spouse they may change the trust and who inherits.

My question is, person receiving a real estate as gift or inherents real estate from living trust, 1is there tax differences between the above mentioned. ( state of MD) 2. Does the trustee pays taxes from the trust?

There are no differences on the tax treatment of the real estate. The trustee would be in charge of making payments for certain taxes as well as income the trust generates unless all income is distributed.

Why does a trust cost thousands vs a $99 will? Is it just insurance against the public finding out about all your good stuff? Plus can I do a POD for all the different accounts and a TOD for the house?

[@serenitiresourcesllc8030]

I can tell you now a will cost more when you have to go through probate. I wouldn't wish a will on anyone I cared for.

[@TobyMathis]

Wills tend to be cheap because the drafting firm is banking on getting the probate when the person passes. The average cost of probate, depending on the study, is around 20% of the estate with attorneys fees making up a large chunk of that. AARP did a study where they compared a will to a loss leader in a store. The will gets them in. The problem with wills or any payable on death or equivalent is that they are only triggered upon death and only cover changing the asset name to another. You will need healthcare documents such as HIPAA releases, Medical POAs and living wills as well as financial documents such as Financial POAs and gift schedules regardless of the will, not to mention you can only create a legacy plan via a trust or similar vehicle. Will are only one piece of a pie but are often sold as the whole pie. A living trust is the whole pie as it includes all of the necessary planning documents.
