Texas Revocable Living Trust
Last reviewed: by MicroDocs editorial
A Texas Revocable Living Trust holds your assets — your home, accounts, and personal property — under a structure you control while you're alive and that hands them off privately when you're gone. The right answer in Texas for most families is the same as in every other state: skip probate, keep things private, and stay in control.
About the Texas Living Trust
Trust documents, title evidence, and recording requirements vary by transaction, asset, county, recipient, and current Texas law. Before using a trust for a bank, title, or property transaction, confirm the recipient's requirements and work with state-licensed counsel and title professionals on any deed, authority evidence, or recording process.
You answer one questionnaire — names, beneficiaries, trustees, successor trustees — and we produce the full trust binder in minutes. You can revoke or amend it at any time, which is what "revocable" means: the trust is yours, and the documents reflect that explicitly.
The trust pairs with a Pour-Over Will (also generated for you) so anything you forgot to title into the trust during your lifetime falls into the trust at death — a belt-and-braces backstop Texas probate judges expect to see.
Texas Living Trust — Common Questions
Bank and title-company requirements vary by institution, county, asset, and transaction. Ask the recipient which authority evidence and title documents it requires, and work with state-licensed counsel and title professionals before relying on a trust for a transfer or recording.
A will tells a Texas probate court what to do after you die. A revocable living trust holds your assets now, while you're alive, so most of those assets never go through Texas probate at all. Most families use both: the trust for the assets, plus a short pour-over will to catch anything left out.
Yes — a trust only avoids probate for assets that are actually titled in the trust's name. The Premium plan includes a Texas-style Warranty Deed plus a cover letter you mail to your county clerk's office to record the deed and move the property into the trust. If you own a home, choose Premium.
Yes — that is the entire point of "revocable." While you're alive and competent, you can amend, restate, or completely revoke the trust whenever you want. You can also regenerate the trust documents from your dashboard up to five times within the same plan.
