Best Answer

A trust becomes effective as soon as it is fully executed. Property can be transferred to the trust immediately. Trusts should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in trust law in your jurisdiction so that the trust will meet your personal needs and your questions can be answered by someone who is familiar with your trust.

A living trust becomes effective as soon as it is created and funded by transferring assets into it. This allows the trust to hold and manage the assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries during the grantor's lifetime and upon their death.

Living Trust Revocation?

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.)
