A will is a legal, written, communication by which a person directs how her estate is to be distributed in the event of death. It allows you to designate who you want to carry out your wishes and provides you with the opportunity to nominate a guardian to care for your minor children. A trust is the legal right to the beneficial enjoyment of property to which another person holds legal title. It is a great estate planning tool to help avoid the costs associated with probate and to decrease the amount of taxes paid at death while placing limitations on children’s ability to access money left to them.
