Some differences between wills and living trusts

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.  If you want to set up a consultation, call our office at (661) 414-7100 and/or visit out "Get Started" page.
