While researching
Will Vs Trust, I discovered that people don't necessarily have to choose only one. Many estate plans use both documents because they can serve different purposes. A trust can manage assets and potentially avoid probate for property properly transferred into it, while a will can provide instructions for assets that aren't included in the trust. A will can also nominate guardians for minor children, which a trust generally doesn't do. I’m curious how common it is for families to maintain both documents. Does anyone here have experience managing a combined estate plan?
