Do I need a trust or just a will?
It depends on your assets, goals, and desired level of control and privacy.

What happens if I die without a will?
State law controls distribution and appointment decisions—often not what families would choose.

How often should I update my estate plan?
Major life events (marriage, divorce, births, deaths, new assets, relocation) are key update triggers.
