What A Will Accomplishes
A will is designed for many purposes. It is the defining document stating your final wishes for how your property will be distributed after your death as well as who will handle your finances and perhaps even significant family responsibilities.
A will is designed to:
- Distribute your property to people and/or organizations you have chosen
- Name a guardian to care for your minor children (if necessary)
- Name an executor to manage your finances and implement the stipulations of your will
- Make your wishes known pertaining to your funeral, burial or cremation, and/or memorial
However, there are also things you cannot do with a will, like protecting your assets or providing for children with special needs. Additionally, note that if you do not name an executor in your will, the court will appoint one for you who may not be the person you would have chosen.
Although in Texas, it is possible to craft a will without an estate planning attorney, it is foolish to attempt this task without legal representation. Because it will affect your loved ones and your legacy after you are gone, too much is at stake to view creating a will as a do-it-yourself project
What is the difference between a Will and a Trust?
The terms Will and Trust are sometimes used interchangeably. However, this is not correct. There are some differences between the two.
A Will is a legal document outlining an individual’s final wishes. This can include how they want their personal affairs to be handled, including burial arrangements, etc., along with how they want their property to be distributed.
A Trust, on the other hand, is a financial instrument that allows the trustor to transfer their assets under the management of a third party, also known as the trustee. Depending on the type of trust, it may offer significant protection from creditors and other suits against the estate.
