If you moved your home into a trust, the deed changed. Your insurance policy probably didn't.

When the trust owns the house but isn't listed on the homeowners policy, you can end up with a gap between who owns the property and who's covered — and that gap tends to show up at the worst possible time, when you're filing a claim.

The fix is usually simple: call your insurance agent and ask to have your trust added to the policy as an additional insured or additional interest. It's typically one form, and it takes a few minutes.

If you've already set up a trust and haven't made this call, put it on your list for this week.

Putting your home into a trust is the right move. Doing it halfway is where families get hurt.

Six mistakes that come up over and over:

1️⃣ Creating the trust but never funding it, the document exists, the house was never actually transferred into it
2️⃣ Naming the wrong beneficiary
3️⃣ Not updating beneficiaries after a marriage, divorce, birth, or death
4️⃣ Naming children under 18 as beneficiaries
5️⃣ Never telling your home insurance carrier the property is held in a trust
6️⃣ No disability or incapacity planning alongside it

Number one is the most common by far. A trust that was never funded doesn't protect anything, the house still goes through the court process your family was trying to avoid.

If you already have a trust in place, it's worth pulling it out and checking these six.

Three questions. If you answer no to any of them, your family is exposed.

1️⃣ If you became incapacitated tomorrow, who has the legal authority to handle your finances and your medical decisions? Not who you'd want, who is actually documented.

2️⃣ If something happened to you, who becomes the guardian of your minor children? Have you put that in writing, or are you assuming your family already knows?

3️⃣ If you have a child with special needs, who cares for them after you're gone, and what have you set up to make sure it holds?

Most families have answers to all three in their heads. Very few have them documented. Without the paperwork, the courts decide, and they decide based on what's on file, not what you intended.

The good news is all three are solvable while you're healthy and able to make the call yourself.

A lot of families think a will is the finish line. It's closer to a ticket into the probate process.

If your children's names are in your will, that document still has to go through the courts before anything reaches them. Probate takes time, and in Texas the filings become public record, meaning your family's affairs are open for anyone to look up.

A well-drafted, comprehensive revocable living trust is designed to keep that transfer out of the court system entirely, so your family isn't waiting on a docket while they're already grieving.

A will still has its place. But it's worth understanding what each one actually does before you decide you're covered.

If you become incapacitated without a plan in place, your family may have to go to court just to act on your behalf. And if you have minor children, a judge, not you, decides who becomes their guardian.

An estate plan handles both of those while you're healthy and able to make the choice yourself.
