Understanding Wills vs. Trusts
A Will:
- Probate is guaranteed
- Provides for the distribution of assets owned by you
- Only goes into effect when you die. Referred to as a “death” document
- Allows you to appoint guardians for your minor children
- Names a personal representative you wish to settle your estate
- May include protective trusts for beneficiaries
- Allows you to revoke or amend your instructions at any time while you are alive
A Trust:
- With a fully-funded trust, Probate can be avoided
- Provides for distribution of your assets
- Can be effective during your lifetime, during any period of disability, and/or after death.
- Referred to as a “living” document
- Provides for a successor trustee upon your death or incapacity
- Often includes protective trusts for beneficiaries
- Allows you to revoke or amend your wishes during your lifetime
California Probate:
- The process wherein a person’s legal and financial affairs must be authenticated after death.
- This includes outstanding legitimate debts paid, and assets transferred to beneficiaries.
In California, probate proceedings are conducted in the Superior Court for the county in which the decedent lived
