Revocable trustees have limited abilities to fully protect your assets. Take a case of bankruptcy or insolvency. The creditors can counter this and get you. However it is favorable when you are in a critical condition or sick and you would want to leave your kin in safe hands. Do not let them fight over your money but make it easier through paper and save them the 5% encroachment on your estate through legal fees.
