Frequently asked questions
Do I need a will if I don't own much?
Yes — a will also names guardians for minor children and an executor, which matters at any asset level.
Will vs. trust — what's the difference?
A will takes effect after death and goes through probate; a trust can avoid probate and manage assets during incapacity too.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review it every 3–5 years and after major life events: marriage, divorce, births, or big asset changes.
