Both a will and a living trust let you decide who receives your property, but they differ in cost, privacy, and how they are handled after death.

The core difference

A will must go through probate court. A living trust generally avoids probate entirely, saving your family time and expense.

When a simple will is enough

If your estate is small and straightforward, a will may be all you need. Larger estates and real estate owners usually benefit from a trust.
