***** A Note To LivingTrustBuilder Users Who Are *****
***** Residents Of Non-Community Property States *****
***************************************************************************
The LivingTrustBuilder trust agreements and abstracts for married persons
contain several references to "community property." For couples residing
in community property states, these provisions are essential. For those
residing in non-community property states, the provisions are harmless.
In effect, the trust is administered in non-community property states as
though these references were not there.
It may be to your advantage to retain the references to community property
in your trust documents. For example, if you move to a community property
state, the presence of these references may minimize or eliminate the need
to revise your living trust documents to conform to the requirements of the
community property state.
In any case, we caution you against deleting the references to community
property from the text of the documents without first consulting an estate
planning attorney in your state.
