What are Estates and Trusts?

Estates refer to everything comprising the net worth of an individual, including all land, possessions, financial securities, cash, and other assets the person owns or has a controlling interest in. An estate may also include life insurance proceeds if policy ownership is not correctly addressed.
Trusts are fiduciary arrangements that allow a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. Trusts can be arranged in many ways and can specify exactly how and when the assets are passed to the beneficiaries. There are many benefits with using a trust as a part of an estate plan.
