ESTATE PLANNING

Revocable Trust Funding Workflow

A revocable-trust funding flowchart tracks the administrative work that follows signing a trust. The inventory is the control point: each asset is considered, classified, and then either moved through a transfer path or reviewed for beneficiary designations. Confirmation comes before the asset is treated as complete. The loop is particularly useful when several asset types are involved, because it keeps a team from treating one completed transfer as completion of the whole review. It provides an operational checklist, not instructions for changing ownership or beneficiary designations without professional advice.
