It can be confusing to know what you need to plan for your future. You have probably heard of trusts and might wonder why someone might choose it over a will. That is a great question! Here is some clarity!🤓

Please be wary of seminars or law firms or AI blurbs that insist, “Everyone should have a trust.” Estate planning is not a one-size-fits-all activity, and an ethical attorney should provide a no-pressure, easy-to-understand assessment of your individual needs.
