Washington Will and Trust Attorney

Understanding the Difference Between a Will and a Trust

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and secure your legacy. At Fales Law Group, we focus our practice exclusively on estate planning, probate, and asset protection. Whether you’re drafting a will, creating a trust, or reviewing your existing estate plan, our experienced Living Trust attorney in Washington can guide you every step of the way.

What is a Will?

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets and property will be distributed after your death. It also allows you to designate guardianship for minor children and pets. However, creating a will doesn’t necessarily mean your family will avoid probate. In most cases, a will must go through the probate court for validation.

At Fales Law Group, we help clients draft wills that minimize complications. We also offer estate planning solutions like trusts for families seeking to avoid probate entirely

What is a Trust?

Like a will, a trust determines how your assets are distributed after your death. However, trusts provide significant advantages over wills. A living trust allows you to transfer assets while you’re still alive, helping your family avoid the probate process.

Even if you already have a trust, it’s essential to review it regularly to ensure it remains effective and complies with Washington laws. Our Living Trust attorney focuses on updating and optimizing trusts to provide maximum protection for your assets.
