Why Putting Your Property in a Trust Matters

For many families, a home is their most valuable asset. How you hold title to that property can make all the difference when it comes time to transfer it to loved ones.

Benefits of Putting Property in a Trust

When a property is placed in a trust, ownership can pass directly to your chosen beneficiaries without going through probate. This usually means:

• Faster transfer of ownership (often weeks instead of months or years)

• Lower costs by avoiding probate court and attorney fees

• Privacy since probate is public record, while trusts are private

• Less stress for your family during an already difficult time

What Happens Without a Trust?

If you don’t have a trust, your property will likely go through probate. Probate can be lengthy, expensive, and stressful for loved ones. Families may spend months—sometimes years—waiting for court approvals while paying unnecessary legal and court fees.

This is why proper planning is so important if you own property in Los Angeles beach cities such as Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Playa del Rey, Mar Vista, Culver City or Venice.
