The difference between a will and a trust

Because wills and trusts are different, it is important for you to understand the limitations and advantages of each so you can make the right decision for your unique circumstances.

Trust:

This is an arrangement for the management of property after death, but can also be in effect during your lifetime if needed. Benefits include flexibility to use your assets however you see fit, avoidance of costly and lengthy probate procedures, assurance of adequate support for dependents, and protection from lawsuits or creditors.

Will:

This is a document that ensures your wishes are carried out after you die. It allows for the division of property and lets you choose a guardian for your children. A will can help save costs in taxes and administrative fees and prevent stress and family disputes. Without one, the court will decide what happens to your children and your property.

If this is your first venture into wills and trusts, an estate planning attorney is vital. Your attorney will take the time to sit down with you and fully explain your options.
