Instead of distributing property through a will, some clients prefer to execute a living trust. A living trust is designed to hold your assets during your lifetime and then provides instructions for how the trust property is to be distributed after your death.
You should consult with an attorney to determine whether a living trust is the right approach for you. Generally, the benefits of a living trust are 1) to avoid probate, which may be particularly advantageous for clients owning real estate in multiple states, 2) to protect privacy; a probated will is filed with the court and is a public document, while a trust agreement may remain private.
