Frequently Asked
Living Trusts in Elgin — FAQs
- Do I still need a will if I have a living trust? +
- Yes. A pour-over will catches any assets not transferred into the trust and names guardians for minor children. It serves as a safety net, not a substitute.
- What does it mean to fund a trust? +
- Funding means retitling assets into the trust's name — deeds, accounts, and investments must be formally transferred. An unfunded trust does not avoid probate.
- How do I find a living trusts attorney in Elgin? +
- Start with verified directories that source data from state bar records. In Elgin, IL, look for attorneys who actively practice living trusts, are in good standing with the Illinois bar, and offer a free initial consultation.
