Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a will, a trust, and a living trust?
A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death, but it typically requires going through probate, which can be time-consuming and costly. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal arrangement that allows a trustee to hold and manage property for the benefit of beneficiaries, often avoiding probate. A living trust is a type of revocable trust created during your lifetime, giving you control over your assets while you are alive and ensuring a smoother transfer after death. Many families choose a living trust to simplify estate administration and minimize court involvement. By combining wills with trusts, you can create a comprehensive estate planning strategy that protects your assets, reduces disputes, and ensures your wishes are carried out.
How does probate work, and can it be avoided?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and overseeing the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. It involves court supervision of estate administration, payment of debts, and transfer of assets to heirs or beneficiaries. Probate can take months—or even years—depending on the complexity of the estate, and it often incurs fees. While probate ensures oversight, many people prefer to avoid it to save time and money. Tools like a living trust or revocable trust allow assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without probate. Proper estate planning, including the use of wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations, can minimize or eliminate the need for probate altogether. By planning ahead, families reduce stress, preserve privacy, and streamline the transfer of wealth while maintaining compliance with state law.
What is a special needs trust, and why might it be important?
A special needs trust is a crucial tool in estate planning for families with loved ones who have disabilities. Unlike a standard revocable trust or living trust, a special needs trust is specifically designed to provide financial support without jeopardizing eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This type of trust allows parents or caregivers to leave assets, life insurance proceeds, or inheritances for a child or adult with special needs while ensuring ongoing care and quality of life. Without a properly structured special needs trust, an inheritance could unintentionally disqualify the beneficiary from vital benefits. Special needs trusts are an essential part of estate administration, offering peace of mind that your loved one will be financially supported, legally protected, and cared for long after you are gone.
How can estate planning help with business ownership and a business purchase?
Estate planning is not just about personal assets—it also plays a vital role in business ownership and succession. If you own a company, a strong plan ensures smooth transition of management and equity while avoiding disputes. Without planning, your business interests may become entangled in probate or commercial litigation, potentially disrupting operations. For entrepreneurs considering a business purchase, it is equally important to integrate that asset into a broader estate administration plan. Structuring ownership through a trust or living trust can protect the business from creditors and streamline succession. Clear documents, such as a revocable trust, can also help reduce tax burdens and keep the business running efficiently. Thoughtful planning ensures that your company—whether newly acquired or long-standing—remains stable, legally protected, and positioned for long-term success.
Why is ongoing estate administration and review important?
Many people create wills or a living trust and assume their estate planning is complete, but ongoing review is essential. Life changes—such as marriages, divorces, births, deaths, or even a business purchase—can significantly alter your financial picture. Laws governing probate, taxation, and trusts also evolve, which can affect the effectiveness of your plan. Regular updates to your revocable trust, special needs trust, or other estate planning documents ensure they still reflect your intentions and comply with current law. Additionally, proper estate administration during your lifetime—such as retitling assets, funding trusts, and maintaining accurate records—prevents complications later. Without updates, your estate could face unnecessary commercial litigation, delays in probate, or unintended distributions. Reviewing your plan every few years protects your legacy, minimizes disputes, and provides long-term security for your family and beneficiaries.
