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.
