Joint trusts are the best trusts for married couples who are very stable and secure in their future plans. This couple will most likely be the joint co-trustees of their assets and enjoy a great deal of flexibility over the trust while they are alive.
You definitely need to have a Will if you want your partner to have your assets. If you have no Will, if you are in the US, your assets will be distributed according to the law in your state. Your estate will be Intestate (no Will). No where in a listing have I ever found where a ``partner would be included.
A trust is always the best way to organize and dictate the disposition of your assets after death, even if you have no children. A trust allows you to transfer your property and assets after death without the need for court intervention. Trusts can be for single persons, couples with no children, and families.
You dont absolutely need a trust, a will is enough. Wills have to be probated to have any effect, and there is a degree of court supervision. That involves bureaucratic delays and costs, at a stressful time. A trust, on the other hand, usually has no court involvement. The stress and costs are up-front before death.
Joint trusts are a type of living trust created by two people (usually a married couple) that allows them to combine their assets into one trust. This approach can simplify estate planning, but it also has some drawbacks that should be considered.
