Trust funding guidance

Creating a trust is an important step—but many plans fail because assets were never properly aligned with the trust. We provide practical guidance on next steps.

What “funding” means
  • Retitling certain assets into the name of the trust
  • Coordinating beneficiary designations
  • Organizing documents so your successor trustee can act
Common assets
  • Real estate (as appropriate)
  • Non-retirement bank and brokerage accounts
  • Personal property assignments (where used)
Common pitfalls
  • Signing documents but never changing titles
  • Outdated beneficiaries
  • No clear instructions for successors
