Negative aspects of using a living trust as opposed to a will and probate include upfront legal expenses, the expense of trust administration, and a lack of certain safeguards.
As noted above, the Grantor typically serves as the Trustee of their own Revocable Living Trust.
For example, in a living trust it is common for the grantor to be both a trustee and a lifetime beneficiary, while naming other contingent beneficiaries.
For example, a living trust is often an express trust, which is also a revocable trust, and might include an incentive trust, and so forth.
These plans may include drafting a will, living trust, health care directive, power of attorney and other documents.
These procedures are not available to the trustee of a living trust.
