Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a will and a trust?
- A will dictates how your assets are distributed after death and goes through the public probate process. A trust can manage assets during your lifetime and after death, often avoiding the time, privacy loss, and expense of probate.
- What happens if I die without an estate plan?
- If you die without a will, state laws will determine how your assets are distributed among your closest relatives, which may not align with your personal wishes. An attorney can draft documents to prevent this situation.
- When should I update my estate plan?
- You should review your estate plan every few years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a significant change in your financial situation.
