Will or Trust? Revocable or Irrevocable? The names can be confusing, but each serves a different purpose.
A Will gives instructions for assets that pass through your estate and lets you nominate a guardian for minor children. A living trust can manage assets during your lifetime and direct what happens to them after death. For the trust to work as intended, it must be funded.
A Revocable Trust generally lets you keep the ability to change it. An Irrevocable Trust usually limits that ability and is designed around a specific goal. Those goals may include planning for a beneficiary with special needs, holding life insurance, or planning ahead for long-term care.
The right choice depends on your family, assets, and goals. Swipe through the graphics for a quick comparison, then schedule an estate planning consultation to discuss what fits your situation.
