A will takes effect only after your death and must go through probate court. A living trust takes effect immediately, avoids probate, and can manage your assets if you become incapacitated during your lifetime.
Many people benefit from having both. A living trust handles most assets, while a "pour-over will" catches any assets not transferred to the trust and names guardians for minor children.
Your assets will be distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not reflect your wishes. The court will appoint an administrator, and the process can be lengthy and expensive for your family.
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, birth of children, death of beneficiaries, or significant changes in assets or tax laws.
Probate is the court-supervised process of distributing assets after death. Living trusts, joint ownership, and beneficiary designations can help avoid probate for most assets.
While DIY options exist, estate planning involves complex legal and tax considerations. Professional guidance ensures your documents are legally valid and achieve your goals effectively.
