4. 3. Control
 The revocable living trust is a contract that you
enter into which contains your instructions for
managing your assets, and the use of those assets in
the event of your death or incapacity.
 Should you not be able to manage the trust yourself
a person whom you appoint will step into your
shoes to manage the trust.
 The successor trustee is under a fiduciary obligation
to carry out your wishes as outlined in your trust.
