Creating a trust is often a central part of estate planning, but it’s not enough to simply draft the document. Proper trust funding is essential to make sure the trust functions as intended. However, many people may not realize that failing to fund a trust correctly can result in delays, additional costs, and even unintended consequences.
Deciding whether to create a will can feel unnecessary if you don’t have children, siblings, or other close relatives. Even without heirs, planning ahead can protect your assets, your wishes, and even reduce potential stress for others after your passing. Estate planning isn’t just for those with heirs; it’s about making choices that reflect your values and giving yourself peace of mind.
