I agree they should check with their Lawyer but from my experience with my dad and my mother-in-law and a couple of tax clients a Living Trust/Revocable Trust does not protect their assets. 

I just found this online...  https://www.mhc-law.com/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-a-revocable-living-trust/  if it's reliable it might answer a few questions. 

Hang in there everyone!
