Differences Between a Will & Trust in Louisiana
While no estate plan is alike, most will contain both a will and trust that are modifiable while the testator/trustor is still alive. While they both share similar attributes, there are several key differences to consider in each:
Will – these are documents drafted and submitted in writing that delegate which family members or inheritors will receive property or financial assets from the estate. Wills can also dictate who will become guardians of the children, if applicable. If someone dies without a will, then the state of LA will deem it to be “intestate” and their laws will determine the fate of the person’s property
Trust – these act in a similar fashion to wills in that they detail your wishes for the property you’ll leave behind. The big difference between the two is that trusts allow you to manage the estate while you’re alive and coherent. This helps to provide both flexibility and peace of mind. There are many types of trusts that adapt to your specific needs such as shelter, marital, asset protection, and life insurance.
