Probate is a court-supervised proceeding in which a will is proved in a court of law. Probate is a time-consuming and expensive process. Moreover, probated wills are a matter of public record, which means anyone can review them. If you want to protect your privacy, it makes sense to create a trust.
Trusts do not go through probate. The trustee of a trust makes decisions on the creator’s behalf after they die or become incapacitated. A trustee should manage the trust efficiently. They can hire experts to assist them administer the trust. They cannot use the property for their personal gains, must file tax returns, and keep accurate records.
