A Living Trust is a written agreement that should, if properly drafted and executed, be valid in any state in which a person resides.
The location of the person’s residence or the location of the assets used to fund the trust are not relevant to its validity. Even if the assets of the original Trust are disposed, the Trust remains valid and is not tied to any specific location.
While a person living in a new location can certainly draft a new Living Trust and fund the trust with real property from a different location than the original Trust, that person also has the option of simply amending the original trust document and then funding that trust — again, assuming that the original document was properly drafted and executed.
If you are unsure if your original Trust agreement meets current laws or is properly drafted, we suggest you review Standard Legal’s Living Trust legal forms software option.
