I'm always telling clients to make sure they "fund" their trust. A trust lets you avoid probate, but it doesn't work unless the trust owns all of the property--well, almost all of the property. There are assets that shouldn't be owned by a trust, but do need to be addressed. My YouTube video details what should and should not be put into a trust and why.

P.S. Know what else you should NOT do? You should NOT miss our Boot Camp this October 29-30. The LA Times said that most people will miss out on thousands of dollars in tax savings this year. The new tax laws are complex and they can't afford the accounting specialists that will help them cash in on the savings. We will have two former IRS agents at our Boot Camp for you. One was a special IRS auditor and the other the head of the Western Region Criminal Division. With a maximum of 25 people in the Boot Camp, you'll be able to interact directly with them, and they will hold a one-on-one session with you to apply the new tax laws to your situation.
