Start Your Estate Plan
A living trust is a legal document that allows you to place assets into a trust during your lifetime while maintaining control of those assets. It can help simplify the transfer of property after your passing and may reduce the need for probate.
In many cases, yes. A trust and a will often work together as part of a complete estate plan. While a trust can manage many assets, a will may still address property outside the trust and name guardians for minor children.
If you have a revocable living trust, you can generally modify or revoke it during your lifetime as your circumstances or wishes change.
Assets properly transferred into a trust generally do not pass through probate. However, whether a trust helps avoid probate depends on your specific estate plan and how your assets are titled.
Review your trust after major life events, significant financial changes, or every few years to ensure it continues to reflect your wishes and complies with current Colorado law.
