Many people who look into estate planning ask, “What is the difference between wills and trusts?” While both wills and trusts deal with estate planning, they serve different purposes. In this post, the legal team of PJI Law, PLC, estate planning lawyers from Fairfax, VA, outlines the key principles of wills, trusts, and their role in asset protection.
Wills and Trusts in a Nutshell
Here are the basic features of wills and trusts:
A Will
Only comes into effect once the will-maker is deceased
States who will receive the decedent’s assets
Appoints an executor to carry out the decedent’s wishes
Is potentially contestable and must go through probate, a legal examination by the court
A Trust
Can take effect immediately after its creation
Allows a person or an institution (a “trustee”) to hold assets for beneficiaries
Can distribute property before or after the trustor’s passing
Can be irrevocable or revocable/changeable
Assets in trust generally avoid probate
While we recommend that everyone have at least a will (whether or not you also have a trust), trusts aren’t strictly necessary for all individuals. Trusts are particularly helpful for individuals who have assets that are potentially going through probate, own property across several states, or have minor children.
Wills: the Basics of Estate Planning
A will, also known as a last will and testament, is a legal document specifying how the will-maker wishes to handle asset distribution and other affairs after their death. A will typically includes all of the principal’s assets, such as real estate, vehicles, and other property, and usually a list of debts. A will may also provide directions for a funeral or memorial service.
Usually, every will must go through a probate court before execution. In some states, it may be possible to avoid probate under specific conditions. Certain assets, such as insurance policies and retirement accounts, may, if planned properly, pass directly to named beneficiaries without probate. (more…)

Perhaps you have considered veneers, but a nagging thought is holding you back – what if they look…fake? That is a healthy concern and my heart breaks when I meet people with identical, blocky veneers. Natural-looking veneers require subtlety, balance and harmony.
I begin by studying the patient’s unique facial structures, including cheekbones, lips, smile lines and how the teeth naturally show. I consider resting and full smiles and carefully listen to the patient’s goals. These details act as a map to ensure the veneers fit naturally and enhance the patient’s appearance.
Next, a diagnostic mockup is created so the patient can “try on” veneers to see if the proposed result matches the desired smile. We then combine unmatched artistry and experience with advanced technology to achieve stunning yet natural looking results. (more…)
