@sjrcpa Joint living trusts are the usual choice in community-property states, because most people would have to split everything if they wanted separate trusts.  When I see a separate trust, usually with everything owned by the husband and nothing by the wife, it always reminds me that it hasn't been that long since marriage used to mean man and wife were one, and the man was the one.  

People who are so concerned about limiting their liability that they put each rental house in a separate LLC, are usually so unconcerned about exposing their assets to their spouse's liability that they go along with joint trusts.  

Under the old estate-tax rules, there were all these "A" and "B" trusts, and "Survivor" and "Decedent" trusts, that split the assets at the death of the first spouse so that each could get the maximum exemption.  That's not an issue for most couples these days, but they haven't reviewed and revised their trust because they had no idea why they were doing it in the first place.  

And when the first spouse dies, many couples don't bother with splitting the trust in two.  Or if they do, they are smart enough to put it all in the Survivor Trust, which is usually revocable.  There are no Trust Police, checking to make sure the instructions in the document are followed.
