Oregon Wills & Trust Planning

Revocable Living Trusts

Flexible trust arrangements that help your estate avoid probate while maintaining full control over your assets during your lifetime.

A revocable living trust is one of the most powerful and flexible tools in estate planning. You transfer ownership of your assets into the trust during your lifetime, naming yourself as the initial trustee so you retain complete control. Upon your death or incapacity, a successor trustee steps in seamlessly — no court involvement required.

Unlike a will, a trust does not pass through Oregon's probate process. This means your estate is settled privately, efficiently, and without the time delays or public disclosures that probate entails.

Key Benefits

  • Avoids probate, saving time and preserving privacy
  • Provides for your care if you become incapacitated
  • Allows for detailed distribution instructions over time (e.g., to children at specific ages)
  • Can hold real estate in multiple states, avoiding ancillary probate
  • Revocable and amendable at any time while you are competent

We guide you through the entire process — from drafting the trust document to re-titling your assets so the trust is fully funded and effective from day one.
