I'm a lawyer but don't have particular experience setting up living trusts or using Legal Zoom. I have been involved in a lot of estate/trust/probate litigation, though. I'll just chime in to say that if you have a crappy estate planning document (drafted by an attorney or otherwise), often its your heirs/beneficiaries who have to deal with the legal and financial consequences of that. So, I'd just say keep those people in mind as you set something like this up, as they may have to deal with any fallout.
