Well, hire a lawyer. What a lawyer does is that they draft the trust agreement, which is signed by the Grantor/Settlor/Trustor and the Trustee. Also, the spouse must consent to any transfers of property that would be affected pursuant to their spousal election pursuant to state law. But a Trust is ineffective if it is simply a legal agreement. The Trust must have property put into it (called “funding”). This is where you title your home and bank accounts into the Trust, such as The Mike and Mary Jones Revocable Trust dated January 1, 2014.

Absolutely. Probate is the process of passing property to the heirs named in a will or according to the laws of intestate succession pursuant to the laws of the state. However, any property that is within a Revocable Trust is not subject to the probate process. This significantly reduces, or even eliminates, the time and money spent in the probate process. Further, by having a Revocable Trust, there is rarely a bond needed for probate. Many times, it simply involves filing the will.

Of course. This is one of the big advantages of a Trust. In a typical situation, there is language included that allows you to amend the trust at your discretion. Thus, any life scenario – like a marriage, death, adoption – allow you to amend the Trust.

A Loving Trust is a legal agreement whereby you grant someone, whether an individual or entity, the ability to manage or oversee your assets during your lifetime. You are called the Trustor/Grantor/Settlor and the person that is tasked with overseeing your property is called the Trustee. Anybody that you name to get your assets is called a beneficiary. A Loving Trust also contains rules regarding who can take care of you personally, which would include health decisions, as well as your financial decisions. A loving trust isn’t one-of-a-kind when it pertains to estate planning; it is actually just another name for a revocable trust.

A civil law attorney plays a vital role in handling civil suits relating to personal injury, family, real estate, employment, and other various legal disputes.

A revocable living trust can be a powerful estate planning tool. Generally, a revocable living trust is a type of trust that can be cancelled at any time and the grantor of the trust is both the trustee and beneficiary (allowing for control of the trust's assets).

Estate planning attorneys, also referred to as estate law attorneys or probate attorneys, are experienced and licensed law professionals with a thorough understanding of the state and federal laws that affect how your estate will be inventoried, valued, dispersed, and taxed after your death.

A will provides who will get your property (real estate and other personal property), who will take care of your children or other dependents, and also provides how these things will occur after you die. A will has to be probated by a court of law in the jurisdiction where you had residence. If you do not have a will on your death (or a Trust) then your assets will pass pursuant to the estate inheritance laws of your state, such as Kansas (known as intestate succession).

Simply put, an estate plan is a broader plan of action for your assets that may apply during your life as well as after your death. A will, on the other hand, dictates where your assets will go after you die, who will be the guardian of your children and more.

Estate planning involves determining how an individual's assets will be preserved, managed, and distributed after death. It also takes into account the management of an individual's properties and financial obligations in the event that they become incapacitated.

In Kansas, the partner of a decedent is qualified to certain rights, which include rights in the primary home. The surviving spouse can choose these rights in lieu of what they would receive in a will (or trust, unless they have actually consented to the terms therein).The spouse has certain rights (known as exemptions) to the house, personal property, one car and other property to help them with the day-to-day living.

The property of the deceased is held and managed by the administrator (i.e., their personal agent) throughout the management of the estate. The personal agent makes distribution of the estate when the court of probate accepts the purchases made and expenses paid and the recommended distribution timetable.Kansas has several guidelines relating to timelines on exactly how quickly an estate may be closed and circulation made to the successors or recipients. Nonetheless, it typically takes a year or even more to complete the management.
