Many people aim to help beneficiaries avoid probate by creating trusts. This can be a powerful estate planning strategy. Trusts such as the following can be incorporated in a will:

• Revocable living trusts that can be changed during one's lifetime
• Irrevocable trusts that typically cannot be changed once set up
• Special needs trusts
• Generation-skipping trusts
• Charitable remainder trusts
• Domestic asset protection trusts
• Marital trusts
• Disclaimer trusts allow a surviving spouse to disclaim ownership of a portion of the estate and thereby not be taxed on that portion

Trusts Complement Wills Rather Than Replacing Them

Whether or not trusts are included, everyone should have a will as an essential foundation of an estate plan. A will clarifies distribution of assets, both those governed by trusts and any additional assets. Probate is not always something to avoid; it can be critical to settling financial affairs after death. Assets not titled to trusts may include final income tax refunds or proceeds from lawsuits. These assets require a will for proper accounting and disbursement through the probate process.
