Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a will or a trust?

A will is sufficient for simple estates. A trust avoids probate, provides more control, and is better for larger estates or complex family situations.

How often should I update my will?

Review every 3-5 years or after major life events (marriage, divorce, children, significant asset changes).
