Thanks for this information! My parents recently completed a living trust. However, my in-laws have had one in place for years and they have noted many times how diligent one must be to ensure that virtually EVERYTHING (of any consequence) must be added to the living trust. However, since The New York Times article conveys such a comprehensive overview, I am going to forward the article to both my parents and my in-laws. Thanks!
