What is a revocable living trust? A trust is a written agreement that names someone to be responsible for managing property for the benefit of others. A revocable living trust(also called a "living trust" or "revocable trust") is one type of trust. It's a "living" trust because you create it while you’re alive. It's "revocable" because, as long as you’re mentally competent, you can change or end the trust at any time, for any reason. 6, record 4, English, - revocable%20trust
