Figure out the type of trust you'll need. Are you single? Take inventory of everything you own. Pick your trustee. Draw up the trust document, either by yourself or with a lawyer. Sign the trust document in front of a notary. Fund the trust this means putting your property into the trust.
A "living trust" (also called an "inter vivos" trust by lawyers who can't give up Latin) is simply a trust you create while you're alive, rather than one that is created at your death under the terms of your will. The beneficiaries you name in your living trust receive the trust property when you die.
It is true that in some states (such as California) probate administration can be lengthy and expensive. North Carolina is not one of those states. The maximum court cost that can be saved in North Carolina by using a funded living trust is $3,000, and those costs are generally much less in most estates.
In North Carolina, any person 18-years of age and older can make a will or living trust, and that will or trust will be recognized by law. Whatever debts you owe upon your death, whether it is a car loan or fees owed for personal services, this will come from the assets of your estate.
