Q: Living Trust - real estate I would like to give to a charity is in a diff state than where I am a resident. Which state
I need to do a living trust instead of a will for giving real estate to a charity to avoid probate and for privacy.
The real estate I own is in a different state than where I am a legal resident. Would I contact a lawyer in the state where I am a resident or the state where the property is? Thank you
A: You should contact an attorney in your state of residence to prepare your Living Trust. An attorney in the state where your real property is located will be of help to transfer your out of state real property to your new trust. Your Trust attorney can assist you in locating this attorney.
