Estates & Trusts FAQs
Do I need a trust if I have a will?
A will goes through probate — a public court process that takes time and costs money. A living trust bypasses probate entirely, transferring assets directly to beneficiaries. For most people, a trust offers better protection and privacy.
What is a life estate deed and how does it work?
A life estate deed transfers ownership of your property to a named beneficiary while you retain the right to live there for your lifetime. At your death, the property passes automatically to the beneficiary without probate.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan after major life events — marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, significant asset changes, or moving to a new state. We recommend a review every 3–5 years.
