Guardianship
The two main advantages of a revocable trust are the avoidance of guardianship proceeding in the event of the grantor's incapacity and the avoidance of probate proceeding upon the grantor's death. The revocable trust typically provides that in the event of the grantor's incapacity a successor Trustee automatically takes over the administration of trust property. This permits the grantor(s) and their family to avoid a public guardianship in the event that the grantor(s) are unable to manage their property. Probate is avoided upon the grantor's death so long as property is properly titled in the name of the Trust as property titled to the Trust is not part of the grantor's probate estate and can be transferred to trust beneficiaries without probate or court involvement.
