  3. The Trust Wagon Analogy – Probate Avoidance and Asset Funding

An illustration of a red "Trust Wagon" filled with assets like a house, money, and legal documents. The image labels the handle as "Control," the bucket as "Assets," and the wheels as "Probate Avoidance," with the headline "Think of a Trust Like a Wagon: It's Only Useful When It Is Full."

An educational graphic used by Winblad Law PLLC to explain the importance of trust funding. The “Wagon Analogy” simplifies complex estate planning: the handle represents the Trustee’s control, the wheels symbolize the smooth path of probate avoidance, and the red bucket represents the assets. The image emphasizes that a trust document is only effective if your property is legally transferred into it.
