Why It Matters
Intestacy Laws Decide Unless You Do
Without a clear estate plan, decisions about your assets will be left to state law rather than your wishes.
Estate Planning Allows You to Decide Who:
01
Receives Your Assets and When
02
Manages your financial affairs
03
Makes decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated
04
Cares for your minor children

Common Questions
Estate Planning, Plainly Answered
Estate planning can raise a lot of questions. Here are straightforward answers to some of the questions families ask most often.
A will can establish how certain assets should be distributed after your death and name guardians for minor children. A trust can provide additional flexibility and control over how assets are managed and distributed, and may help avoid probate.
The cost of creating a trust depends on the type of trust, the complexity of your estate, the assets involved, and your goals. A straightforward revocable trust may require less planning than a more complex strategy involving multiple assets, beneficiaries, tax considerations, or specialized protections.
In many situations, placing certain bank accounts in a trust can help simplify the transfer of assets and may help avoid probate. However, the right approach depends on the type of account, your estate plan, and applicable law.
Whether an asset can or should be transferred into a trust depends on the type of asset, ownership rules, contractual restrictions, tax considerations, and applicable law.
