Get the Help You Need With Wills and Trusts

A will, also known as a last will and testament, is established to transfer your property to another person or organization of your choosing. Wills can also name someone as your personal representative (executor) who will carry out your instructions. They also will name a guardian if minor children are involved. Wills are only effective upon your death, after which it is admitted to probate.

A living trust can be used to hold legal title and also to provide a mechanism to manage your property. You can select an individual, a group of people, or even yourself as the trustee(s) to carry out the trust's instructions and name one or more successor trustees. Trusts differ from wills as they usually become effective immediately. They continue in force during your lifetime, even in the event of your incapacity, and after your death. Trusts are mostly revocable, allowing the person who created the Trust to make changes in the future or even terminate it.
