Revocable living trust

What this document does

A revocable living trust is a written trust agreement you create during your lifetime, funded with your assets during your lifetime, that you can change or revoke at any time. At your death, the trust assets pass to the beneficiaries you've named — outside the probate estate.

A revocable living trust is the right fit when: probate avoidance is a meaningful goal (out-of-state real property, large estate, privacy concerns); you want continuity of asset management on incapacity (without a guardianship proceeding); or your estate plan includes structures (sub-trusts for children, special-needs provisions, blended-family staging) that a will alone doesn't handle.

Why this is Pattern C with attorney execution

A revocable living trust requires attorney judgment in drafting — the trustee provisions, the funding mechanism, the sub-trust structure, the integration with retirement-account beneficiaries — and an attorney-conducted execution and funding session to ensure the trust is properly funded with your assets (the most common failure mode is trusts that are drafted but never funded).

The $399 covers the trust drafting; the $300 Johnson Legal execution session covers the funding session and the pour-over will. Most clients also benefit from a real-property assignment ($99 TOD deed bundle) as part of the overall package.
