People with fewer assets, a modest estate, or just a relatively simple estate distribution plan most likely dont need a living trust, which, incidentally, generally has more upfront costs than writing a willand that may also be a consideration in deciding whether you need to include a living trust in your estate plan
Suze Orman, the popular financial guru, goes so far as to say that everyone needs a revocable living trust. But what everyone really needs is some good advice. Living trusts can be useful in limited circumstances, but most of us should sit down with an independent planner to decide whether a living trust is suitable.
Since probate may take several months, many people create living trusts as a convenience to their beneficiaries. You should keep in mind that the cost of setting up a living trust is often at least the same as a probate proceeding. (Either a living trust or a simple probate may cost from $500 to $2000.)
If you become incompetent, the successor trustee can manage the property for your benefit without having to go to court for a conservatorship and without ongoing court supervision. A Living Trust can help avoid or reduce estate taxes, gift taxes and income taxes, too.
What Are the Disadvantages of a Trust? Loss of Control. Setting up the trust necessitates you giving up some amount of control of the assets you place within the trust. Loss of Asset Access. Cost. Recordkeeping Complexity. High Need for Competency.
