Trusts and wills, when it comes to estate planning, one of the key things to understand is the difference between a trust and a will so let's take a little look at the key differences between trusts and wills:
- A will is a document that sets out how you want your estate to be distributed after you die. A trust, on the other hand, is an arrangement whereby property is held by one person (the trustee) for the benefit of another person or people (the beneficiaries).
- Generally speaking, a will can only deal with assets that are located in the UK. A trust, on the other hand, can deal with assets located anywhere in the world.
- A will must be signed by the person making it and witnessed by two other people. A trust does not require any ignatures, but it must be signed by the trustee.
- A will can be revoked at any time by the person making it. A trust cannot be revoked without the agreement of all of the beneficiaries.
- A will takes effect after you die. A trust takes effect immediately.
