The following is an extensive (although it certainly is not designed to answer all of your possible questions) article discussing estate planning, particularly the use of the Living Trust (also called the "Revocable Trust" or "Revocable Family Trust", or similar name) to both plan the distribution of an individual (or couple's) estate as well as to manage assets in a reasonable manner in the event of a disabling injury, illness or simply the ravages of advancing age.
