If shielding assets from creditors is a concern, separate trusts usually offer greater protection. With a joint trust, if a creditor obtains a judgment against one spouse, all trust assets may be at risk. A spouses trust is generally protected from the other spouses creditors.
Your estate plan is entirely your decision, and you are free to leave your assets to others, such as other family members, friends, or charitable organizations, should you choose. If you do wish to leave something to your child but are concerned about their ability to manage it, a trust can be an excellent solution.
People with fewer assets, a modest estate, or just a relatively simple estate distribution plan most likely dont need a living trust, which, incidentally, generally has more upfront costs than writing a willand that may also be a consideration in deciding whether you need to include a living trust in your estate plan
