The basic legal document of estate planning is a Will. In its simplest form, a Will is your Last Letter of Instruction. It contains your instructions about who will handle your affairs once you are gone and who is going to receive your estate and in what proportions. If you have minor children, a Will is the instrument by which you appoint a guardian to look after them.
A Living Revocable Trust is a legal document that resembles a Will. It contains an individual's instructions for his or her assets in the event of disability and directions for the distribution of assets upon death. After the Trustor creates the Trust, they change the title on their assets from their name individually to their name as Trustee of their Trust.
