Do you need more than a Will to distribute your assets?

A Last Will and Testament can distribute your entire estate; however, there are several reasons why you might want to use one or more trusts to distribute most of your estate. If you have minor children, for example, who cannot inherit directly from your estate you will need to establish a trust to guard their inheritance. A trust may also be needed if you have a child with special needs, are married to a non-citizen, or simply want to stagger the inheritance you leave to beneficiaries.
