Joint Trust Guide
The purpose of a Joint Living Trust
A Joint Living Trust is typically created to place shared assets (e.g., family home, bank accounts, and investments) in one shared trust that can be controlled by both spouses. They can also name a successor trustee and the beneficiaries who will receive the property.
Why people prepare one
A Joint Trust form is mainly chosen by many families to help them keep the details private and pass the property on to loved ones more easily, as it is designed to avoid probate.
Planning for the event of incapacity
In case of your incapacity, your successor trustee will be able to manage the trust assets for you.

How it works
When it’s time to create a Living Trust
When it is time to think about creating or updating your Living Trust:
Reaching the age of majority and you prefer to cover personal assets and digital property;
Changing your marital status and you wish to reflect your current preferences;
Choosing a guardian for your children;
Acquiring a new piece of real property and naming the successor trustee;
Launching a business and you wish to plan the ownership and succession;
Retiring soon and you wish to make sure that the documents are aligned with your estate plan.
At a pivotal life event (relocation, loss, major health crisis);
Every several years to ensure the information on the Trust is up to date.
Without your documented plan, the court system will decide who receives your assets. The Living Trust is designed to help you choose the beneficiaries, protect your family from unnecessary delays and extra expenses.
