Yes, trusts can typically avoid probate in Alabama. The primary reason many people establish trusts is indeed to avoid the probate process, which can be time-consuming and expensive. When you create a trust, you're transferring ownership of your assets to the trust and, upon your death, the assets held in the trust are no longer part of your personal estate and aren't subject to probate.

When most people setup a trust, they are setting up a Revocable Living Trust. These trusts can be altered or canceled during your lifetime. They are flexible and offer control over the assets during your lifetime, and they can help avoid probate. There are many other types of trusts designed for specific situations, like Charitable Trusts or Special Needs Trusts.

Funding a trust in Alabama involves transferring ownership of your assets into the trust. For real estate, this means preparing a new deed for the property in the name of the trust. For bank accounts, you would need to contact your bank to have them change the account holder to the trust. Other types of assets, like vehicles, personal property, stocks, bonds, etc., would also need to be formally transferred to the trust.
