Why isn’t a Will the best way to leave assets to my children?

A Last Will and Testament can transfer everything you own, but leaving assets to minor children through a Will creates a legal hurdle. Minors cannot directly inherit from an estate, so anything you leave them must be placed under the control of an adult who manages it until they reach the legal age of majority. This can limit flexibility, add court oversight, and delay your children’s direct access to what you intended for them.
