Joint trusts are the best trusts for married couples who are very stable and secure in their future plans. This couple will most likely be the joint co-trustees of their assets and enjoy a great deal of flexibility over the trust while they are alive.
For many years, the standard practice in estate planning for married couples involved creating separate trustsone for each spouse. This method allowed each spouse to manage and control their own assets, businesses, and inheritances, ensuring that their individual wishes were respected, even after they were gone.
If you are married and a California resident, and you own a home, you will need a joint revocable living trust as the primary document in your California estate plan. Since you are a California resident, most, if not all of your assets will be community property.
