  2. How a Living Trust May Be Able to Help when it Comes to Court Challenges to Your Plan A well-worn old proverb wisely opines that you cannot always prevent trouble or misery from coming in, but “you don’t have to give it a chair to sit on.” In other words, while we cannot always prevent bad things from happening, we should not leave ourselves in a position where it is easy for trouble to take hold… or get worse.

If your state has adopted a version of the Uniform Trust Code, then your potential trust challenger has only a limited time to file their action.
