What are Wills and Trusts?
Wills and trusts are two important legal documents where you can instruct how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass away. A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed and who should be responsible for managing your affairs after your death. A trust incorporates the benefits of a will, but is also a legal arrangement where one person (the trustee) holds and manages property for the benefit of another person (the beneficiary).
Why Create a Will or Trust?
Creating a will or trust is an important part of estate planning. By doing so, you can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, rather than leaving it up to state law. Additionally, creating a will or trust can help minimize potential conflicts among family members and loved ones. The big difference between a will and a trust is that a trust helps avoid Probate court, while a stand a Will does not.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is the difference between a will and a trust?
- A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed and who should be responsible for managing your affairs after your death. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal arrangement where one person (the trustee) holds and manages property for the benefit of another person (the beneficiary). While both wills and trusts can be used to distribute assets after death, trusts can be beneficial for avoiding probate.
- Can I make changes to my will or trust after it has been created?
- Yes, it is possible to make changes to your will or trust after it has been created. However, any changes should be made through proper legal channels to ensure that they are valid and enforceable. Additionally, it is important to regularly review your estate plan and make updates as needed to reflect changes in your life circumstances, such as a change in marital status or the birth of a child.
- What is a trust?
- A trust is a legal arrangement where a person, known as the grantor or settlor, transfers their assets to a trustee, who holds and manages those assets on behalf of the beneficiaries. The trustee has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries and follow the instructions specified in the trust document. Trusts can serve various purposes, such as preserving wealth, avoiding probate, providing for the care of minor children, or minimizing estate taxes. Trusts can be created during the grantor’s lifetime (living trusts) or through their will (testamentary trusts).
