San Francisco, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/17/2013 --A living trust is a valuable way to pass assets between generations. Those who are unprepared for a sudden passing are often surprised by how much tax is taken from an estate after a death. In order to leave descendants with a stress-free passing, more and more people are deciding to establish a living trust.

A living trust is an essential part of many of today’s estate plans. A living trust is designed to be the easiest way of protecting estate assets while ensuring family members avoid costly court probate proceedings later on. And at LivingTrustAuthority.net, visitors will discover detailed information about setting up a living trust in any state in the US.

Essentially, a living trust is an arrangement created while the asset holder – the trustee – is still alive. That living trust assigns legal title to a beneficiary. These legal titles will be transferred when the original trustee becomes incapacitated or dies.

The main benefit of a living trust is that the property transferred into a living trust prior to death does not go through probate. Instead, ownership of assets is automatically transferred to the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the trust, which avoids court fees and legal costs. The living trust ceases to exist once all property has been transferred to the beneficiaries.
