We’ve spent many episodes discussing how important trust funding is to your estate plan (assuming a trust is a part of your plan). However, the process can be tedious at times. Many attorneys don’t handle the trust funding for the clients (or only provide minimal guidance), which can lead to further trouble.

Many couples automatically assume that, after one spouse passes away, the survivor will retain control of everything. Certainly, that is the “default."
