Wills

A will is a document that details how and where you wish to distribute your assets after you’ve passed. Some wills require a process called probate to ensure all assets are handed out exactly as you’ve stated in your will. With a will, you can transfer property, belongings, and money to anyone you choose. You can also include details for your funeral arrangements in a will.

Trusts

Trusts take effect the moment they are formed, unlike a will, which is only valid after you’ve passed. There are a variety of trusts, but the two most common are living trusts and testamentary trusts. Both versions are a means to transfer the assets of your estate to family and friends but don’t require probate because a trustee is appointed to distribute your assets.
