β Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
Yes! A trust helps you avoid probate, ensures privacy, and gives you more control over asset distribution, unlike a will that requires court involvement.
Can I change my trust later?
If you have a revocable trust, you can modify it at any time. Irrevocable trusts, however, are permanent once established but offer more protection.
Who should be my trustee?
You can name a family member, trusted friend, or professional trustee to manage your assets. Weβre here to help you make the best choice.
