Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Isn't a simple will enough for most people?

While a will is an important component, comprehensive estate planning addresses many scenarios a will alone cannot, including incapacity planning, probate avoidance, asset protection, and tax minimization.

Q2: How often should I update my estate plan?

We recommend reviewing your estate plan every 3-5 years or whenever you experience significant life events (marriage, divorce, births, deaths, substantial asset changes, or business transitions).

Q3: What's the difference between a will and a trust?

A will directs asset distribution after death and goes through probate court, while trusts can manage assets during life and after death, avoid probate, provide privacy, and offer greater control over how and when beneficiaries receive assets.

Q4: At what asset level should I consider a trust rather than just a will?

While there's no strict threshold, trusts become increasingly valuable as your estate grows beyond $500,000, you own property in multiple states, you have complex family situations, or you desire greater privacy and control.
