For starters, a living trust helps you to control how and when assets are transferred to your beneficiaries. This trust can distribute assets while you’re alive, after your death or on dates or at events you’ve chosen. You get to choose which assets should be included in the trust, and which relative or friend should receive them.

Keep in mind, these assets are not affected by probate, so terms of the trust stay private, known only to you. No public record of them exists. They can be distributed immediately after you have died, if that was your choice.

Another source of peace of mind is that these assets placed in trust are already being managed for you, if you become incapacitated at some point.
