Assets placed in a living trust avoid probate and are passed down directly to the beneficiaries. Avoiding probate makes the inheritance process much simpler and faster for all parties. It can also prevent the costs of probate from being taken from your estate, which could reduce the assets your beneficiaries receive.
Probate proceedings are not necessary for all estates. Factors including the value, nature, and titling of assets de- termines whether a probate is required. Washington law provides a simpli- fied procedure for the transfer of assets in a small estate when the value of such does not exceed $100,000.
The price of creating a living trust in Washington depends on how you go about making it. The first option is to use an online service and draw up the trust yourself. This will cost a few hundred dollars at most. The other option is to hire an attorney, which could cost more than $1,000.
One common method is to create a revocable trust. A revocable trust allows you to maintain control of your property during your life, and decide how the property is distributed after death, without needing to go through probate court.
Probate: Washington law does NOT require a probate proceeding to be filed following death, regardless of whether the Decedent died with or without a Will (ie, testate or intestate, respectively).
