Will or Trust? What Senior Men Need to Know Before It's Too Late

from The Encore Project Podcast · host The Encore Project

Most men have thought about writing a will at some point — and most have put it off. But even the men who have gotten around to it often don't know the difference between a will and a trust, or why that difference might matter quite a bit to the people they leave behind. In this episode, we cut through the legal fog and lay out what these two documents actually do, how they work differently, and when one is better than the other. We cover probate — what it is, why it can be a problem, and how a trust sidesteps it. We talk about what happens to your assets if you become incapacitated and only have a will. And we make the case for why getting this sorted out now is one of the most practical things a senior man can do for his family. This isn't about being morbid. It's about being prepared.
