None of us like to think about our own mortality, which is why so many families are caught unprepared. A living trust is an important estate planning tool that can help save the expense and delay of probate, which can last as long as three years and take up to 10% of your estate's value. It may also help married couples avoid estate taxes.

A living trust can provide you with more privacy than a will because in most states, you don't have to register it with the courts in probate. Another advantage of a living trust is that it allows you to hand over management of your assets to someone else if you become incapacitated. Below is our 3-step process for preparing a living trust:
