Understanding The Differences Between Wills And Trusts

Wills and trusts serve different purposes in estate planning. A will outline how your assets will be distributed, appoint guardians for minor children, and state your final wishes. However, a will must go through probate, which can be time-consuming and costly.

In contrast, a trust transfers assets to a trustee who manages them for your beneficiaries. Trusts can take effect during your lifetime or after death, often avoiding probate, reducing estate taxes and offering more control over asset distribution.

Benefits Of Wills And Trusts

Incorporating a will or trust into your estate plan can provide significant benefits for you and your loved ones:

  • Protecting assets and helping ensure proper distribution.
  • Avoiding probate to save time and costs.
  • Reducing estate taxes.
  • Providing for minor children, including guardianship.

These tools not only safeguard your assets but also give you peace of mind that your family will be cared for according to your wishes.
