THINKING ABOUT A LIVING TRUST? AVOID THESE MISTAKES
A Living Trust is a powerful tool, but it only works if executed correctly. For Tennessee homeowners and parents, avoiding these common pitfalls ensures your assets actually stay out of court and go to the people you love.
TOP MISTAKES TO WATCH FOR:
The "DIY" Trap: Online templates often miss Tennessee-specific legal requirements. One small error can cost your family time, money, and security.
The Empty Trust: A trust doesn't protect anything until you "fund" it. You must retitle your accounts and property into the trust's name.
The Wrong Successor: Your children are your beneficiaries, but they might not be the best people to manage the assets. If they have demanding careers or if you have a child with special needs, a professional trustee might be a better fit.
"Set It and Forget It": Marriages, births, and new assets happen. An outdated trust can be just as problematic as having no plan at all.
WHY AN EXPERT MATTERS
