What Is Involved in an Illinois Revocable Living Trust?
When someone drafts a revocable living trust (RLT), they are essentially outlining an agreement they have forged with another individual or institution (the trustee). The individual who drafts the trust (the grantor) is transferring ownership of his assets over to the trust. The RLT includes terms for the trustee’s management of this property, with the grantor able to maintain control over everything related to the trust, including what will happen with it after his death.
