What Are Wills and Trusts?

Your Last Will and Testament establishes what will happen after you die. You can also have a Living Will, which goes into place when you’re still alive but without the ability to make decisions about your estate for yourself. Wills allocate assets and any financial means to loved ones, sometimes not evenly, which is why they are so critical.

Trusts are an excellent way to avoid probate after you pass on and can help protect your estate from creditors, taxes, or even long-term care costs. All trusts, like all wills, are different, so you need an excellent legal team in your corner to draft one properly.

Elements That Your Will Needs to Contain

Your Last Will and Testament is the final document that your loved ones will review after you pass or if you become mentally unfit to handle your affairs. Each one is different, but they all contain some version of the following elements.

Instructions for who gets what assets and when they get them
Information regarding what to do with minor children or pets
Who will be the executor or executors of the estate
How the trust will function, and if it will allocate money out to your beneficiaries in one lump sum or over time
Any charities that you wish to donate to

Your will could contain other elements and be more complicated, especially if you have substantial assets or wealth. It’s essential that you put together a very clear Last Will and Testament so that your family follows your wishes after you pass on, and so that familial infighting is minimized.

Updating Your Will Properly

Over the course of your life, you will want to update your will. Simply put, sometimes people will fall out of your life, and new ones will enter. Children may require additional assets, or new grandchildren could enter the picture. Whatever the case may be, it’s an excellent plan to revisit your will regularly. At Bellomo & Associates, LLC, we suggest that you review your wills and trusts roughly every five years.

To update your will, you need to be of sound body and mind. You must also not be under the influence of another person. It should be very clear that you are making decisions of your own accord and knowing precisely what you are doing.
