Do You Need a Trust?

A properly funded trust can allow certain assets to pass to beneficiaries without going through probate, which may save time and preserve privacy.

Trusts can also be structured to address specific goals, such as providing for a minor child or a family member with special needs.

This is general information, not legal advice. Whether a trust makes sense depends on your assets, your family situation, and your goals — an attorney can help you evaluate the options.
