That would be interesting. I'd guess it'd be better than letting the government eat your lunch when you die.

when you die, your property generally goes into the probate process, which exposes you to publicity and judicial oversight and dispute property in a trust avoids probate - passes faster, cheaper, and lower risk. (trust can be litigated but the exposure is a lot lower)

Having the property in a trust also shields you from inheritance taxes. Since the property remains in the trust, legally it doesn't change hands and no death tax.

Literally paying a lawyer right now to set this up. My county is notorious for having a terrible Probate (elected) judge. My lawyer recommends everything in trusts: house, cars, beneficiary for assets

The short answer is that revocable trusts are a common estate planning device. Assets owned in trust are not subject to probate, can be structured to automatically take advantage of state+fed estate tax credits, can avoid certain issues with incapacity, and aren’t public record.
