Putting your home in a trust can help streamline the transfer of property upon your death, avoiding probate and ensuring your wishes are honored. It can also provide privacy, as trusts are not public records, unlike wills. Additionally, a trust can offer protection from creditors and potential estate taxes, making it a valuable tool for estate planning. Overall, it helps in managing your assets more efficiently and securely.
