USA Revocable Living Trust Declaration

Set up a living trust as part of your estate plan with this template USA Revocable Living Trust Declaration.

• Placing your property in a living trust during your lifetime automatically avoids probate, and ensures that when you die your estate will be distributed to your beneficiaries.
• The settlor's property is transferred to the trustee, who holds it in trust on behalf of the beneficiaries.
• After the settlor's death, the trustee will pay all of the estate expenses and then distribute the remainder of the trust proceeds to the beneficiaries.
• This is a revocable trust, which means it can be revoked in whole or in part at any time during your lifetime.
• It should be used in connection with a Pour Over Will.
• Also included is an Approval from Spouse form, which the settlor's spouse must sign to consent to the transfer and release all rights to the trust property.
