Only the property that is placed in your Trust will be controlled by the Trust

Think of a Trust as a box sitting on your table. The only property that will be controlled by the Trust is what has been put inside the box. This is often called “funding” your trust.

Stuff is put in the box either by putting in the box now (i.e. changing titles) or having it added when you die (i.e. making the trust a beneficiary).
