Estate planning helps protect your loved ones and ensures your wishes are carried out. For Georgia residents, a revocable trust is a practical way to manage assets during your lifetime while easing the process for your family later.

At Peach State Wills & Trusts, we work with families across Georgia to create plans that make sense for their needs. Here's how a revocable trust can help.

What is a Revocable Trust?

A revocable trust, also known as a living trust, is a flexible legal tool that allows you to control your assets during your lifetime and direct how they are managed after you pass. Unlike a will, assets in a trust avoid the probate process, saving your family time and court costs.

This type of trust also provides privacy, as it keeps your financial matters out of the public record. If you become unable to manage your affairs, the trustee you select can step in to handle your assets, ensuring continuity and peace of mind for your family.

Benefits of a Revocable Trust

●       Avoid Probate: Assets in a trust bypass probate, reducing delays and expenses.

●       Privacy: Unlike a will, a trust keeps your financial information confidential.

●       Continuity in Incapacity: The trust ensures your assets are managed according to your wishes if you can no longer handle them yourself.

●       Ongoing Management: A trust can provide structure for minor children or beneficiaries needing financial guidance.
