    After my dad died and my mom had a little Money. I told her mom go out and buy yourself some new furniture . Buy a nice washer and dryer. Go to bingo everyday if you want to. My mom scrimped and saved all her life because we were poor. When it was my birthday I honored my mother because she carried me for 9 months and gave me life. When she died I was devastated. She left a couple thousand dollars to me and I couldn't even spend it. I kept thinking about the time she could have used it when I was a little kid. But she did go out and treat herself to New furniture and did spend most of it. She had a stroke and I was there every day. I didn't even think about my job. I thought how many times she sacrificed for us. Please be good to your parents. They gave you life.

      I know how you feel. My mom lived with us the last 17 years of her life. When she got sick i didn’t hesitate to care for her. I was honored to see the woman brought me into the world out of this world. My brother who did nothing in the last 17 years for her. When she needed new tires i informed him she didn’t have the money….crickets. My husband I cover 60% (all we could afford). Over the years i provided for her as she provided for me growing up and a few times as an adult. Do you know he took 1/2 her insurance after burial expenses, but he did let me keep all funds from the sale of her car ($3000 after my expenses waiting for probate). Wasn’t super nice of him? Forgot to mention her insurance was only $25,000 after expenses. I’m feel greedy, but if the roles were reversed I wouldn’t taken half, if any at all.

    My dad passed away last December. He mentioned he wanted to go get a living trust done, but unfortunately he got sick and passed away before he had a chance. We are still in probate court and it's been a nightmare, not to mention expensive! We have been paying on his house for almost a year and just received the right to sell it from the courts. Get it done sooner than later folks, my dad thought he had time but you never know!

      Don't do it. It only benefits the attorneys. Almost 70 percent of living trusts are never funded. Meaning the trust is like a shopping cart and your assets are like the products you put in a cart. Everytime you buy an asset, or sell an asset, guess what..the estate planning attorney or CPA will charge you to update the trust and it is not cheap. Furthermore, if you try to say get a mortgage but your securities at a brokerage are held in the trust you will have to get a notarized ($$$) copy of the trust not just show them your statement from your brokerage.

      @@ksmith2852 Thank you for voicing your opinion. I disagree, but get where you are coming from. Lawyers make billions (with a "B") from probate fees. According to studies, including AARP, the average costs of transferring assets via probate are in the 15-20% range. There are also things like financial & health matters during your lifetime - both of which are also addressed in a living trust. Even unfunded, a living trust is better than a will as there is still a pour-over will included in a living trust that dumps everything into the trust. What it eliminates is public disclosure of what is going to whom as well as the litigation between beneficiaries. Too much here for a simple response, but suffice it to say, I disagree.

    Excellent information, our family is fractured now because of a will that was changed days before dad died. Resentment, envie, and greed motivated a couple siblings to prey on his despair and get him to change his will. My wife and I will set up a trust for ourselves so our heirs don't end up going through what we experienced. It is beyond my comprehension why siblings plot to hurt one another, but the love of money does funny things to people.

    Toby, been watching you for years and learned a lot. But this is probably one of the best videos so thanks for some of the suggestions! My mom's one asset was a house that was purchased in 1977 for $40k but sold for $1.1m (California) when she passed last year with the proceeds sitting in a specialized account until distributions are made. She had Alzheimers but she passed peacefully in her home as outlined in her AHCD which was part of the set of legal documents she had set up in her living trust. As the trustee of her estate, I am witnessing firsthand the grief and greed that you so aptly described. The beneficiaries are pulling out the stops. One beneficiary asked for their distribution immediately after mom passed, another contested the trust, and the last has filed a petition to have me removed claiming I had undue influence over her when she named me the trustee. But the trust was set up in 1979 (updated every 10 years with me named as the successor trustee every single time) when she was of sound mind so the net effect is that legal fees can still drain the trust by belligerent beneficiaries. Yes, those legal fees will eventually be recouped at their expense. It's stupid though. My mom would be mortified if she knew what was happening.

And yes I got accused of influencing, but the funny thing was when we had asked the greedy beneficiaries to help me as trustee to take care of the person so they had an idea of what was going on and could be paid a wage from the estate (and end up getting more money in the end than the others because they were being paid out of the same pot), not a one would step up. They wanted the money without the work. LOL...greedy, lazy and stupid...just unbelievable. Take care of yourself.

      The Living Trust will do nothing about tea cup battles. Whoever gets into the house after the person dies will take the tea cups, photo albums, hard drives, safes and all technology. That's how it works in real life.

    I knew some of the information about Living Trust but not all, it was mind blowing to find out what you can do with a living trust and I really don’t think my dad knew that too because he left it to my sister and my niece and my sister (niece mom) took everything & still complained. There was provision for all his grandchildren but my sister turned around sold all the property and put it under her name because she was the executor. Now everything is gone, no one has anything and she even convinced her siblings to give her money because of property taxes which she pocketed. Greed beyond imagination!

      He only presented a very basic positive side of Trusts. He is a salesman. There is a huge dark side of Living Trusts. Do your research from sources who do not make money from you opening a Living Trust, funding and changing the trust, and administering it when you die. The last cost is hidden; you are dead so you can't complain about the charges and the beneficiaries don't know any better and have no recourse other than sue.

    In California if your estate is over a certain amount they take something like 58% for probate. My best friend growing up lost Millions before they got done because his parents refused to put anything in a trust because they thought somebody would steal the trust from them and other silly rumors. They have four houses and a total of six million dollars in the estate. There was only him and his brother the brother who was causing all kinds of trouble. They had two boats but his brother wanted both boats stuff like that. Before probate was done a 6.5 million dollar estate dwindled down to 1.2 million each for the brothers. You better get a trust combined with a will.
