Contact Trust and Will Customer Service

A trust and will are legal documents that are used to outline how a person's assets and affairs should be managed and distributed after their death. A will specifies how the deceased person's assets should be distributed and who should be responsible for carrying out their wishes. It can also designate guardians for minor children. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal arrangement in which a person (the trustor) gives control of their assets to a trustee, who manages and distributes them according to the trustor's instructions. Trusts can be used to minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and provide for the ongoing care of beneficiaries. Both documents are important for ensuring that a person's wishes are carried out and their assets are distributed according to their wishes.
