A will generally explains how a person wants assets distributed after death and can also nominate guardians for minor children. A trust, depending on its type and how it is established and funded, can manage assets during a person's lifetime and after death. One major distinction is that assets passing through a will may be subject to probate, while properly funded trust assets can generally avoid probate. I&rsquo;m curious which option people prefer and why. Has anyone created both as part of an estate plan?[/size]</span>
