A will is a legal document that provides how your probate property is distributed at your death. A will also typically names the executor and provides for a guardian when there are minor children. If you do not make a valid will, your probate property is distributed according to the Ohio laws of intestate succession, which may not necessarily agree with your wishes.
A trust is a legal entity created by a grantor for the benefit of beneficiaries under the trust document. Depending on the client’s situation and goals, the use of trusts can be a valuable estate planning tool. Trusts are often useful for avoiding probate, reducing potential estate taxes, and providing for the management of trust assets during and after the life of the grantor.
