Money... is like a beautiful thoroughbred horse - very powerful & always in action, but unless this horse is trained when very young, it will be an out-of-control & dangerous animal when it grows to maturity. Dave Ramsey

Another Authority “Of all the documents I have ever talked about, of all you have heard me mention on TV or in any book, a revocable living trust is is the document I have most often said is indispensible. It is one of the most important documents you can have to protect yourself.” Suze Orman

What is it? Define please
A revocable living trust states who controls your assets while you are living (you) and what will happen to your assets when you are gone. Revocable because you can change it at any time; living because you create it while you are alive; trust because you entrust it with your property.
9
Why do I need it? Because without it, courts can review, publicize and decide the disposition of your assets and charge fees for the service. You avoid courts and probate, and your assets pass directly to the people you want to have them—and without probate court!
