Because living trusts are not under direct court supervision, a trustee who does not act in your best interests or in a prudent fashion accountable to you or your beneficiaries may, in some cases, be able to take advantage of the situation to a greater extent than would be possible had the trustee been under direct court supervision, which provides such safeguards as court accountings and, in some situations, a bond.

Trusts enable the grantor (the person creating and funding the trust) to determine who receives the money, when they receive it, and what conditions must be met. The pros and cons of trusts depend on whether it is a living trust or a testamentary trust.

A Living Trust allows you to have full use, enjoyment, and control over your property during your lifetime while defining what will happen with your estate upon your death or incapacity. This is especially true if you name yourself as Trustee. In addition, the Living Trust avoids Probate. After your death, rather than going through Probate, your estate is distributed according to the terms you have set up in your Living Trust. The Successor Trustee (chosen by you) carries out this process. See similar questions...
