A threshold question I often get is, "What's the difference between a will and a living trust?" In this short segment from SCV Today, Santa Clarita attorney Robert Mansour discusses some major differences between living trusts and wills. A will is basically a letter to the judge that says, "Dear Judge, this is where I want my stuff to go when I die." The court gets involved and basically supervises the transfer of your assets. It is an expensive and public process. Probate court is simply a division of our court system that handles these kinds of matters. Search our website for much more educational information.
