Added: September 1, 2025
Applicable: Universal

Detailed Explanation

A Living Trust is a legal arrangement established by an individual (the grantor) during their lifetime to hold assets for their benefit and the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Unlike a will, a living trust can help avoid probate, providing privacy and potentially faster distribution of assets. It can be revocable or irrevocable.
