Wills and Trust

The goal of every parent is to provide their children a secure future. They make sure to provide them everything, including their property and other financial things they own. Parents transfer their possessions to the next generation, this is a legal and natural process, but while transferring the possessions they have to go through some procedure before handing over the custody to the new owner. Every state has its rules set when it comes to the wills and trust of the people. Similarly, there are some rules to follow if you are living in Hawaii. So, there are so many things which you have to consider before reaching a final decision. Of course, there are a lot of questions in your mind regarding your will. There are a lot of people who have taken the wrong decision and now suffering the consequences.

We understand your problem which is why we will answer some of the common questions regarding the will and trust. First of all, one has to understand the difference between a will and trust. If you are confused between the two, then make yourself clear about it first and then execute any plan. It is very important for a person to have a will before he dies. This is not pleasant to talk about death but we have to because it is a reality. In your will, you name your property to someone in your family who will be inheriting the property after your death. Trust is another term which you have to understand. When a person willingly transfers his property to someone else the other person is called a trustee and this whole pact is known as a trust. You can transfer not only your property like house, land and buildings, but your bank accounts and stocks as well. In addition to this, a trustee will always be a trustee. The actual owner of the property will be you. The trustee will only be the manager in any way. He is bound to provide benefit more or less. Let’s suppose that a person bought a new house, but he forgot to add it in the will. The property is surely his but after his death the real problem will arise. The property won’t pass under the trust document because no one has the right to own that house. This is why it is very important to add everything in your will with a clear mention that who will own what. This way you will stay away from the problems that might cause trouble for you. If you are living in Hawaii, follow the state rules before taking any personal decisions. Making a living trust may create troubles for you instead of any help. Hawaii uses a Uniform Probate Code. This code is used to simplify the process. Following this code can help you a lot.
