Empty trust tracker

People sign a living trust but never retitle their homes, bank, and brokerage accounts into it, leaving the trust empty so the assets still pass through probate, the exact outcome the trust was meant to avoid. Attorneys hand clients a funding checklist at signing and rarely verify completion, so funding gaps surface only at death during litigation, when they are expensive and irreversible.
