Understanding Wills and Trusts
Important tools within an estate plan
Wills and trusts are different legal tools that may serve different purposes depending on a family's goals and circumstances.
A will may:
- Express how assets should be distributed
- Identify beneficiaries
- Nominate guardians for minor children
- Provide instructions for estate administration
A trust may:
- Hold and manage assets
- Provide instructions for future distributions
- Assist with long-term planning goals
- Address specific family circumstances
Every family's situation is different, which is why individualized planning can be valuable.
