Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a will and a trust? ▼

A will is a legal document that directs how your assets are distributed after death, while a trust is a legal arrangement that can avoid probate and provide privacy. Trusts can also provide asset protection and control over distributions.

Do I need an estate plan? ▼

Yes, everyone should have an estate plan regardless of wealth. Even modest estates benefit from wills, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney to ensure your wishes are honored and minimize burden on family.

What is probate and how can I avoid it? ▼

Probate is the court process of validating a will and distributing assets. You can avoid probate through living trusts, joint ownership, beneficiary designations, and proper titling of assets.

How often should I update my estate plan? ▼

Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, birth, death, substantial wealth changes, or moves to another state.

What is probate and how long does it take? ▼

Probate typically takes 6-12 months but can extend longer with complexities. Costs include court fees, attorney fees, and executor compensation, reducing the net value of your estate.
