San Diego, United States - October 5, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Dan Weiner, founder and managing attorney of Weiner Law, provides a detailed description of the differences between trusts and wills in an informative video uploaded on the firm’s website. As part of its commitment to share knowledge on estate planning, Weiner Law has added an FAQ section on its website. Here, the firm regularly uploads videos of Dan answering questions on how to protect one’s legacy.

In the video, Dan puts an end to one of the most common misconceptions about trusts and wills: that they are the same thing. He emphasizes that although they are both used in estate planning, the two documents differ.

Dan explains that a trust is a legal document that allows an individual to put their assets in a separate entity called a trust. This helps a grantor, or the creator of a trust, avoid probate while keeping control of their properties during their lifetime.

On the other hand, a will is a legal document that allocates assets upon death according to the testator’s wishes. However, even though a last will and testament allows for a seamless distribution of assets after passing, it does not help avoid probate.

Dan further discusses the importance of these two estate planning vehicles and how an individual can utilize them in protecting their legacy.

He obtained his law degree from The University of Birmingham in the UK and his master of laws degree (LLM) from Duke Law School.
