Why should I use a Revocable Living Trust versus a Will?

One of the major benefits of having a Revocable Living Trust is allowing you to avoid probate. Also it will allow you to seamlessly manage your assets if you become incapacitated. Please note however that the Revocable Living Trust does not replace your will, although it will act similar to a will and distribute the property pursuant to your wishes. Any good estate plan including a Revocable Living Trust will include the use of a Pour Over Will which will pour any assets which have not been titled into the trust into in upon your death. More information about the benefits of a Revocable Living Trust will be discussed later and for more detail of a Pour Over Will please see your section regarding the use of a Pour Over Will.
