Wills and Trusts - An Overview
A will is a written communication by which a person directs how his or her estate is to be distributed upon death. The estate consists of the property that one leaves behind after death. A trust is the legal right to the beneficial enjoyment of property to which another person holds the legal title. Wills and trusts are commonly used estate planning tools.
The advice and assistance of an experienced wills and trusts attorney are essential to making sure that the measures you choose comply with your state's law and truly carry out your wishes.
