Probates in Louisiana are not difficult if you go to the right attorneys. They should be able to be done in 30 days. Trust attorneys talk so many people into doing trusts that don’t need them. Then they sell a house in a trust and complain about having to open a bank account in the trust name.

No, a revocable living trust (RLT) does not automatically convert assets to trust ownership at death; assets must be funded into the trust during the grantor's lifetime or designated to transfer to the trust through a will or beneficiary designation. If not properly funded, the assets may go through probate instead.

Thanks for commenting. I will research this. My attorney wrote this into my Will documents. Hopefully, she didn't mislead me. Some due diligence needed on my part.

I agree wholeheartedly.
