Get StartedThe Living Trust Revocation is a document used to revoke a living trust or joint living trust. The Revocation can be used to either dismantle the entire plan of using a revocable living trust or to revoke the "old" living trust in preparation for preparing and signing a "new" living trust. However, if a new living trust will be created, and if it will have the same number of grantors as the revoked living trust, consider amending and restating the existing living trust instead of revoking it. If the living trust is merely restated and not revoked/replaced, the assets already transferred to the living trust will remain in the living trust, avoiding the need to transfer each of them. (See this program's Living Trust or Joint Living Trust documents and select the option to "Amend" the Trust.)
A living trust is simply a trust created by a living person. It is also known as an "inter vivos trust". That's Latin meaning a trust between living persons. Conversely, a trust created by someone in a will is called a testamentary trust.
The abbreviation for living trust is "LT".
A living trust is very similar to a living will. The living trust is created by the individual and outlines the wishes of that individual in regards to their assets.

If you are already writing a living will so you don't have to worry about your estate in the future it is a good idea to write a living trust as well.

A living trust is similar to a living will. This is a common way of protecting assest from creditors.
Income of a living trust is taxable to the trustees, if that's what you mean.
Not necessarily. Sometimes people have more than one living trust. It depends on what the new trust says and how your assets are titled. Consult an attorney.
Does the trust have assets in it?
The grantor in a living trust is the person who executes or creates the trust and then transfers their property to the trustee. After they transfer the property they no longer own it.
