Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will specifies how your assets will be distributed and designates someone to manage your affairs after you pass away. A trust, however, holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries, often helping to avoid probate. Both can be effective tools in estate planning, but they serve different purposes.
Can I change my will or trust once it’s created?
Yes, you can make changes to both wills and trusts as your life circumstances evolve. It’s important to use the proper legal channels to ensure that any updates are valid and enforceable. Regularly reviewing your estate plan helps keep it aligned with your wishes.
What is the purpose of a trust?
A trust allows your assets to be managed by a trustee for the beneficiaries according to your instructions. Trusts can help minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure financial support for loved ones. They can be set up during your lifetime and provide instructions for after passing.
Why should I consider creating a healthcare directive?
A healthcare directive ensures that your medical preferences are known and respected if you become unable to communicate them. This document guides your loved ones and healthcare providers, giving you control over your medical care.
