What’s the Difference Between a Trust and Will?
Both a trust and will are key estate planning tools that let you control how your assets are managed and distributed after your passing. Knowing the differences between them helps you choose the right approach for your situation and protects your family according to Florida law.
Last Will and Testament
A last will and testament is a legal document that specifies how your property and assets will be distributed. It also lets you name guardians for minor children and state other final wishes. Keep in mind, wills go through probate—a public court process that can slow down asset transfer.
Trusts
A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts can help Tampa residents avoid probate, maintain privacy, and control when and how assets are distributed.
Here are the main types:
- Revocable Trust (Living Trust): Created during your lifetime, this trust can be changed or revoked at any time. It helps your estate avoid probate and makes managing assets smoother both before and after death.
- Irrevocable Trust: Once set up, this trust usually cannot be changed or revoked. It offers stronger asset protection and may provide tax benefits but requires giving up control over the assets.
Choosing the right estate planning tools can save your family time, money, and stress. The Tampa trust and will attorneys at Southron Firm, P.A. are here to guide you in selecting the best options to meet your goals and protect your legacy.
Why You Need a Trust and Will in Tampa
Proper estate planning is essential for Tampa residents who want to protect their assets and ensure their wishes are honored under Florida law. Without a valid will or trust, your estate will be subject to Tampa’s probate laws, which can be time-consuming, costly, and public. Dying intestate—without a will—means the state decides how your assets are distributed, which can lead to family disputes and delays in providing for your loved ones.
Probate cases in Florida often take several months to over a year to settle and can involve significant legal fees that reduce the inheritance passed to your beneficiaries. Trusts provide a way to avoid probate entirely, keeping your estate details private and accelerating the transfer of assets.
Here’s how trusts help Tampa residents:
- Bypass probate court to speed up asset distribution
- Maintain privacy by keeping estate matters out of public records
- Give you control over when and how your beneficiaries receive assets
At Southron Firm, P.A., we bring local expertise to help you navigate Tampa’s estate planning landscape, ensuring your plan fits both Florida laws and your family’s needs—so you can protect your legacy with confidence.
