The things we don’t want to talk about but do need to make sure we have arranged for piece of mind…..
Let's settle the great debate: Team Will or Team Trust? 📜⚖️
Here's the scouting report.
📜 Team Will
A will tells the court what you want. It's the simpler document to create, and it's where you name guardians for minor children. But a will doesn't avoid probate. Your family still goes through the court process, it becomes public record, and they wait.
⚖️ Team Trust
A revocable living trust holds your assets during your life and passes them privately after. When it's properly funded, your family can skip probate entirely. The catch: a trust only works if your assets are actually in it. An empty trust is just expensive paper.
🏆 So who wins?
Honestly, most families need players from both teams. A trust to keep things private and out of court. A will to name guardians and catch anything left outside the trust.
But the real winner is Team Family. The right plan is built around the people you love, not a one-size-fits-all form.
So, which team are you on today? Comment WILL or TRUST. And if your answer is "I have no idea," that's exactly where Danelle and I love to start.
