Trusts vs. wills: readers weigh avoiding probate delays and fees

Reported · Written up by our desk · Equities

MarketWatch says probate can be lengthy, public, and expensive, prompting some people to consider using a trust instead of a will. The outlet frames the question around estate planning decisions for people in their 60s with about $1.5 million, focusing on whether a trust could better manage family dynamics among heirs compared with a will.
