Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
Yes, a trust offers benefits beyond what a will can provide, such as avoiding probate, asset protection, and greater control over asset distribution.
Can I change my trust later?
If you create a revocable trust, you can modify or revoke it at any time. Irrevocable trusts, however, cannot be changed once established.
