Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the difference between wills and trusts is crucial in estate planning. Wills dictate how your assets are distributed after your passing, while trusts allow you to transfer assets to beneficiaries while you're alive or after death, avoiding probate. We can help you navigate these options effectively.
If you pass away without a will, your assets will be distributed according to state laws, which may not align with your wishes. Having a will ensures that your assets go to the intended beneficiaries, providing clarity and avoiding potential disputes among loved ones.
Selecting the right executor or trustee is a critical decision. This individual will manage your estate and ensure your wishes are carried out.
When considering who to appoint, take into account the person's financial acumen, organization, integrity, and ability to handle potentially stressful situations. It's often beneficial to select someone who is familiar with your family dynamics and wishes, ensuring they can navigate any conflicts that may arise.
