How Wills and Trusts Can and Cannot Help You
This 90-minute course talks about what estate planning is, and who needs it. We discuss property, and how it should be titled to avoid probate and make for an easy transition in case of disability or death. We compare wills and trusts, and see which is better for a particular individual. Finally, this class looks at the probate process, and discusses what it is, when its necessary, and why. You will leave armed with valuable information to make informed estate planning decisions.
