Revocable Living Trust Construction, Funding & Administration Binder Binder II
BINDER II: THE REVOCABLE ESTATE™
THE REVOCABLE ESTATE™ is a comprehensive educational binder designed to teach readers how a revocable living trust is designed, constructed, funded, coordinated, administered, amended, and transitioned after death.
This updated production edition goes beyond simply explaining what a trust is. It focuses on how the different pieces of a revocable estate plan must work together in actual practice.
Readers study the distinction between legal and beneficial interests, the separate roles of the settlor, trustee, successor trustee, and beneficiary, and the practical limits of a revocable trust. The binder also addresses a critical issue often overlooked in basic trust education: signing a trust agreement does not automatically transfer property into the trust.
