Secure Your Future. Protect Your Family. Preserve Your Legacy.

Estate planning is not just about paper documents. It is a carefully designed strategy to protect you, your loved ones, and your most valuable assets when you need it most.

What Is The Difference Between Wills And Trusts?

While having a will is important for just about everyone, a will-based plan may not be right for everyone’s situation. For instance, simply having a valid will in place does not mean your estate will avoid the hassle and expense of the probate court process. In fact, simply because it is a will, it must go through the probate process to be administered under Georgia law.

Probate is a public process — almost like a lawsuit filed against yourself — that can be lengthy and costly, depending on the circumstances. For people with moderate to complex circumstances, a will-based plan may not be the best form of estate planning. Further, if you own property outside of Georgia, your estate will likely be required to go through an additional probate process in the state where you own property. Many people ask us with wills vs. trusts: what’s the difference?

Guidance Determining The Right Plan For Your Family

Depending on your assets and family situation, a revocable living trust plan may be a better estate planning tool. Only a seasoned estate planning lawyer can examine your situation and provide the right legal advice for you and your family.
