living trust

  

Definition

Revocable trust created by transfer or gift of property from its living creator (trustor) to one or more beneficiaries as an estate planning device. Its main objective is to avoid probate, or to achieve a speedy-transfer of assets. However, it does not protect the trust assets from the trustor's creditors.
