Re: Living Wills Assets
To assign any "items" to specific people in a living trust, you first have to make sure that those items are actually transferred or deeded into your trust. Check with an estate planning attorney in your area to make sure that you not only properly transfer property into your trust, but that you word any bequests properly as well.
