Question : Is it necessary to fund the living trust to be valid?
If my bank accounts and house are under my name alone, and I named them as my assets in the living trust, but I did not change the names on the accounts or title of the house to ...for example " John Doe, as trustee for the Doe famiily living trust dated 2/6/06", will my living trust be a useless document when I die? and will my house be probated?
