LIVING TRUST VS. WILL

What is a trust?A trust is an arrangement (or living contract) where someone (a trustee) owns and manages money or property for another person's (the beneficiary) benefit. Think of it like a guardianship. In a guardianship, a guardian has decision-making authority over someone else's property for another's benefit. In a trust, a trustee has decision-making authority over the trust property, but no court is involved in the trustee's action–the person who creates the trust defines the scope of the trustee's authority. There are many different trust types, including living trusts, will-created trusts, income trusts, spendthrift trusts, special needs trusts, and educational trusts. The living trust is the most common, flexible, private, and protective form of estate planning. A living trust allows you to manage your property while you are alive and to direct who will manage it if you become incapable of doing so. In essence, you choose your own "guardian" in advance and avoid having the court do it for you.
