We’re commonly asked: What’s the difference between a Will and Living Trust?
Will vs. Trust
- Will
- Takes Effect After Death
- Probate Required
- Public Record
- Not Applicable to Disability
- Low Creation Cost
- Easily Amended
- Trust
- Takes Effect During Lifetime
- Probate Avoided
- Private
- Effective in Event of Disability
- Revocable Trusts can be Amended
Here’s a bit more detail:
- A WILL is a legal DOCUMENT that specifies how your assets will be distributed after your death and may appoint guardians for minor children.
- It only takes effect after your death and through the probate process.
- Key Features:
- Probate Process: Assets must go through probate, which is a court-supervised process to validate the will and distribute assets. This can be time-consuming and costly.
- Public Record: The contents of the will become part of public records after probate.
- Flexibility: You can revoke or amend a will at any time during your lifetime.
- Limited Scope: It does not manage assets during your lifetime.
- A TRUST is a legal ENTITY created to hold and manage your assets during your lifetime and distribute them after your death.
- It takes effect upon creation and can operate during your lifetime and after your death.
- Key Features:
- Avoids Probate: Assets held in the trust bypass probate, enabling faster and more private distribution.
- Privacy: The details of a living trust are not public.
- Lifetime Management: If you become incapacitated, the trustee can manage the assets on your behalf.
- Funding Required: For the trust to work effectively, you must transfer ownership of your assets to the trust while you are alive.
- Amendable: You can revoke or modify a revocable living trust at any time. Irrevocable living trusts, however, cannot be easily changed.
Personal Injury Services
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you have rights to seek compensation and justice.
What should you do if you have been injured in an accident or by someone else’s negligence?
Steps to Take After an Injury
- Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and document your injuries.
- Document Evidence: Collect photographs, witness statements, and reports related to the incident
- Report the Incident: Notify the appropriate parties, such as property owners, employers or law enforcement.
- Schedule an appointment with Action Legal Services | The Law Office of Nathan R. Zeltzer: Our office will guide you through the legal process and protect your rights!
- Right to File a Claim
- You can file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the responsible party. This process typically involves proving that the other party was negligent and their negligence caused your injury.
- Right to Legal Representation
- You have the right to hire a lawyer to represent you in negotiations with insurance companies or in court.
- Right to a Fair Settlement
- If you’re negotiating with an insurance company, you have the right to a fair settlement based on the extent of your injuries and damages.
- Right to Reject a Settlement Offer
- If you believe the settlement offer is insufficient, you can reject it and pursue further legal action.
- Right to a Trial
- If a settlement cannot be reached, you have the right to take your case to court and let a judge or jury decide.
- Right to Compensation
- You may be entitled to compensation for various damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: Costs of treatment, therapy, medication, and future medical care.
- Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to the injury, as well as future earning capacity if the injury affects your ability to work.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Property Damage: Repair or replacement costs if your property was damaged.
- Punitive Damages: Additional damages intended to punish the at-fault party in cases of gross negligence
- You may be entitled to compensation for various damages, including:
- Right to Reasonable Accommodation
- If the injury results in disability, you have rights under laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for reasonable accommodations in your workplace or public settings.
