The Oklahoma revocable living trust form is a document which places a person’s assets and property into a trust and establishes provisions for the management and distribution of the trust estate. During the Settlor’s lifetime, they will continue to benefit from their assets that they have placed in the trust and, as is more often than not the case, they may appoint themselves as Trustee in order to manage the entity during their lifetime. If the Settlor dies or becomes incapacitated, the living trust will be managed and distributed as per the stipulations of the trust document. By creating a living trust, the Settlor ensures that their heirs will not have to go through a long and expensive probate process. Instead, the Settlor’s estate will be distributed in a timely fashion, according to the Settlor’s specifications.
