Your parents told you what they want. That's not the same as having a plan.

You and your siblings can remember different conversations differently, not from dishonesty. Time passes, things change, and people remember things differently. Their perception becomes their reality.

If you're trying to get your parents to actually plan, that's the case to make: telling you isn't the same as planning.

Verbal wishes create competing memories, not clarity. Here's what your family actually needs when you're not there to settle the disagreement.

“Trust or will?” is usually not the real question.

The better question is: what problem are you trying to solve?
Privacy. Timing. Out-of-state property. A beneficiary who needs structure. Planning for incapacity. Reducing the risk of confusion or conflict later.

Once you understand the goal, the right tool becomes much easier to choose.

A trust is not the plan. It is one way to solve a specific problem.
Sometimes it is the right answer.
Sometimes a well-drafted will can do the job for less.

Probate is not always the part that wears families down. The work is.
Finding the accounts. Locating the policies. Figuring out what's owed and what isn't.

That work exists whether or not a plan avoids probate — the difference is whether someone's been left a clear path through it.

Avoiding probate may keep certain assets out of court, but it does not automatically avoid debt, conflict, title issues, or the work someone still has to do after death.
