The answer depends on your assets, family situation, goals, and concerns. A will directs how your property will be distributed after your death and allows you to name an executor and, if applicable, guardians for minor children. A trust can, in some circumstances, help manage assets during your lifetime, provide for beneficiaries over time, and address privacy or probate-related concerns. In a consultation, we will discuss your circumstances and help you decide whether a will alone, a will plus one or more trusts, or another structure is appropriate.
