What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and typically goes through probate court, while a trust can take effect immediately and often avoids probate. Wills are public documents once filed, whereas trusts generally remain private. Both serve different purposes in estate planning and can work together as part of a comprehensive plan.
