Living Trusts FAQs

Do I need an attorney to form a living trust?

No. An attorney is not required to form a living trust. You can prepare the legal paperwork and file it yourself, or use a professional legal documentation service such as LegalZoom. However, if you have questions you cannot resolve on your own, if your estate will face significant taxation or if you believe your spouse or children may challenge your living trust, you should definitely consult with a licensed attorney.
