Isn't a Living Trust only for the rich?

Answer

No.  A Living Trust can help anyone protect his or her family from unnecessary probate fees, attorney's fees and court costs.  In fact, because gay and lesbian relationships are not always recognized by law, a Living Trust offers a tried and true method to grant otherwise unavailable powers and benefits to a same-sex partner.  Because Trusts are a legally recognized alternative to Wills and Intestate Succession, they offer substantial benefits and protections for LGBT families.
