If you have taken the all important step of creating a will, you should be commended for recognizing that, without one, your death could create a lot of problems and distress for your survivors who would be left behind to pay final expenses and make some difficult decisions based largely on the direction of the state. By specifying your wishes and organizing your affairs, you will ease the burden on those that will need to assume the responsibility for settling your estate. With that behind you, you may want to consider whether the addition of a living trust would serve your purposes more effectively and ensure greater financial security for your family.
