Understanding Wills and Trusts
A complete estate plan often includes a combination of documents that provide instructions about your assets, simplify legal processes, and offer protection during your lifetime and after.
Wills
A last will and testament designates how your property will be divided upon your death. However, all wills are subject to probate, which may involve court processes and public disclosure of your estate.
Types of Trusts
Trusts provide greater privacy and efficiency in distributing assets. Common types include:
- Revocable Living Trusts allow you to manage your assets during your lifetime and transfer them to beneficiaries after your death.
- Irrevocable Trusts offer strong asset protection and potential tax advantages, but cannot be changed once created.
- Bypass (AB) Trusts are often used by married couples to reduce estate taxes and preserve wealth for future generations.
- Charitable Trusts enable you to make structured, tax-efficient contributions to a charitable organization.
- Special Needs Trusts protect the inheritance of a loved one with a disability without jeopardizing their government benefits.
Each trust serves a specific legal and financial purpose. Our attorneys can explain your options clearly and help you select the right instruments based on your estate planning objectives.
