What Is The Difference Between A Will And A Trust?

Past clients have said we are informative and professional. We truly aim to understand your concerns. Then, we can come up with an estate plan that will be the most beneficial. A will is a good place to start. A will is meant to express your wishes when it comes to your property. It can be as lengthy or short as you wish. You will appoint an executor who will be in charge of paying off your debts and distributing your assets after you pass away. This can always be updated as time goes on.

A trust, on the other hand, is very different. There are many different types of trusts, all dependent on your goals. In general, there are two types: revocable and irrevocable trusts. Revocable trusts allow a person to make changes. Irrevocable trusts cannot be amended. Both provide certain tax benefits and can help you avoid the probate process. We are here to help you decide which option may work best for you and your lifestyle.
