One disadvantage of placing your house in a trust is the loss of direct ownership. Transferring your property to a revocable living trust makes the trust the legal owner. While you retain control as the trustee, this change in ownership may affect your ability to mortgage or refinance the property.
A living trust does not protect your assets from a lawsuit. Living trusts are revocable, meaning you remain in control of the assets and you are the legal owner until your death. Because you legally still own these assets, someone who wins a verdict against you can likely gain access to these assets.
The trustee is the person (or people) who holds legal title to the property that is in the trust. The trustee's job is to manage the property in the trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries in the way the settlor has asked.
To find out who owns the assets in a revocable trust, look to whoever is the trustee. If the trustee is also the grantor, then the grantor still owns and controls the assets. If the grantor assigned another person or entity as the trustee, the trust owns the assets, which are managed by the trustee.
