Benefits of a Living Trust
Our Williamsburg Estate Planning Lawyers Advise You
While traditional wills remain the most common estate planning tool, living trusts have become more popular over the years and provide individuals who create them with a variety of unique advantages.
When you die, property is passed on through a will. However, this document must be acknowledged to be legally valid through a process known as probate, which can, at times, be long, expensive, and stressful. With a living trust in place before you die, your will's validity does not need to be acknowledge upon death, and your beneficiaries will be able to avoid the time, hassle, and costs associated with the probate process.
