Texas-statutory document
Revocable Living Trust — Joint
Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 113 (Texas Trust Code)
Attorney-drafted Texas RLT — for two settlors planning together.
A Joint Texas Revocable Living Trust drafted for two settlors (typically spouses) planning together — coordinated distribution, joint amendment powers during both lifetimes, automatic conversion to separate sub-trusts on first death where appropriate. Built for couples whose estate planning runs together.
What's included
- Joint Revocable Living Trust agreement — attorney-drafted, both settlors named
- Joint amendment and revocation powers during both lifetimes
- Survivor's trust / decedent's trust split provisions on first death (where appropriate)
- Contingency provisions for minor or young-adult beneficiaries
- Certificate of Trust for both settlors
- Schedule A inventory framework
- Trust execution instructions
Married couples and partnered Texans whose estate plans align — joint asset ownership, shared beneficiary intentions, mutual amendment authority.
Significantly unequal estates, prior-marriage children, separate-property carve-outs, or business-interest disputes between spouses — those route to Continuum Counsel.
Pour-Over Wills (one per spouse), real-property funding, and incapacity instruments are separate. Bundle them via the Trust Package — Joint ($1,597).
