A trust is something that people with leftover money set up to support their family for generations to come. But a trust, used instead of or in a combination with a will, can also be a tool that helps bypass the entire probate procedure.

Maintaining a trust may also fix problems often encountered during the probate procedure. Some of these issues include:

• The cost of probating an estate, which can increase substantially if there are disputes that evolve into litigation;
• Lack of privacy can be a problem when the family wants to keep its business, such as finances and family disagreements, out of the public eye since a probated will becomes a public record; and
• The time needed for an estate to go through probate, during which family members and other heirs must wait for assets to be distributed, can create financial difficulties.
