Does real estate held in the name of a trust have to go through probate?
Feb 27, 2010 / By: Cheryl K. David, Estate Planning Attorney / Category: UncategorizedDear Smart Person with A Living Trust,
I’m so glad you have a living trust. You’ve saved your family the hassle of probate court at death. The beauty of real estate held in the name of a living trust is that it avoids probate. Since the four children were named as the beneficiaries the property can be transferred directly to them.
Very truly yours,
Cheryl
