What Is the Difference Between a Will and a Trust?
Both wills and trusts are powerful tools for protecting your assets and making sure your wishes are carried out. They work in different ways depending on your needs.
A Will
-
A will is a legal document that explains how you want your property distributed after you pass away.
-
It allows you to name guardians for your minor children.
-
Wills must go through probate court before assets are distributed.
-
You can change your will at any time during your life.
A Trust
-
A trust is a legal arrangement that holds and manages your assets during your lifetime and after your death.
-
Trusts can help your loved ones avoid probate entirely.
-
They offer more privacy and can help reduce estate taxes in some cases.
-
Trusts can also manage your assets if you become incapacitated.
When you work with Ozarks Elder Law, we help you understand your options and create a plan that fits your family's needs both today and in the future.
