Common questions

01Do I need a will or a living trust in Washington?

It depends on what you own, how it is titled, who you want to protect, and how much ongoing administration you want. A consultation can identify which documents fit together for your circumstances. Compare trusts vs. wills →

02Does having a will avoid probate?

Not automatically. A will directs how probate assets should be handled, while properly structured non-probate transfers or a funded trust may change which assets pass through court. Learn about probate in Washington →
