What Is the Difference Between a Will and Trust?

While both are useful and effective estate planning tools, there are some serious differences between wills and trusts. Most importantly, they serve different purposes. In many cases, individuals decide that having both documents is the most advantageous for their estate.

For example, a will differs from a trust in that it:

  • Only goes into place after you have passed away
  • Directs what should happen to your property on your death
  • Appoints a legal representative to fulfill your final wishes
  • Passes through the probate process
  • Becomes part of the public record
  • Allows you to name a guardian for children
  • Let’s you specify funeral preferences and arrangements

In comparison, a trust can do the following:

  • Take effect immediately after being created, after your death, or even later on
  • Transfer property to the trust, rather than leaving it in your name
  • Pass outside of probate, directly providing beneficiaries with assets
  • Remain private, rather than becoming public
  • Set up a plan if you were to become disabled or incapacitated
  • Bypass certain taxes for loved ones who inherit property

If you have questions on which estate planning documents would be beneficial for your situation, our Allen estate planning attorney would be more than happy to discuss your case with you.
