A Trust serves as Will Substitute



The sweltering heat had us take a drive down to the Jersey Shore for the day. I thought about the Jersey Shore properties that are owned by so many folks who live in Pennsylvania. In many cases, it would be appropriate that their property would be passed on via a Trust. A Trust would avoid probate. Therefore, those with real estate in more that one state, avoidance of probate would make a lot of sense.

A Trust in those cases would serve as a perfect alternative to a will, a will substitute. Remember, if your property still has a mortgage on it, consent of your mortgage company would be required.
