The revocable living trust is a very useful and popular estate planning tool, recommended by tens of thousands of attorneys across the U.S. and used as the central estate planning document by millions of Americans. The primary benefit of the revocable living trust is that assets properly funded into such a trust are protected from the expenses and complexities of probate. However, what most Americans don't realize is that assets in a revocable living trust are NOT protected from lawsuits or from the catastrophic expenses associated with nursing home long-term care.
Certified Elder Law Attorney and Certified Estate Advisor Evan H. Farr, one of the nation's leading estate planning, elder law, and asset protection attorneys, has developed a unique asset protection trust called the Living Trust Plus™ -- a trust that functions very similarly to a revocable living trust and maintains much of the flexibility of a revocable living trust, but is designed to protect your assets from the expenses and complexities of probate PLUS lawsuits PLUS nursing home expenses.
