What is the difference between a Will and a Revocable Trust?
Wills and Revocable Trusts are used for different purposes. They are similar in that they both allow you to designate exactly how you want your assets and other personal property to be distributed to your beneficiaries after you die. The primary difference between a Will and a Revocable Trust is that a Will does not avoid a probate proceeding, while a Revocable Trust does avoid probate. A Revocable Trust is administered outside of the probate court after death.
