A will ensures that you control how your assets are distributed after you pass away, protecting you and your loved ones from state laws that may distribute them contrary to your intentions— a protection that is well worth the burdens.

When you establish a trust, you name someone to be the trustee. A trustee does what you do right now with your financial affairs - collect income, pay bills and taxes, save and invest for the future, buy and sell assets, provide for your loved ones, keep accurate records, and generally keep things organized and in good order.
