A will has to go through court and is only valid upon death. A trust is a living document that holds title to assets and does not die. A trust avoids court while a will must go through court.

I was in very good hands working with one of the attorneys to setup a living trust.
What I initially thought to be an intimidating process turned out to be a very informative meeting with the attorney explaining each step in the trust creation process and always providing answers to my questions.
There was no pressure, no rush, and they were very patient with me and made sure I understood what was being presented to me.

Probate is just the fancy term of distributing the assets to the right people through the proper court proceedings.
Basically, this is what happens when you don't do any planning or at least very little.
Probate court is for those who have no trust and have assets that were not titled as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.
For example, lets say you die and have a house and a couple of bank accounts all titled in your name only.
You are married and the bank accounts were acquired during the marriage but the house you owned before marriage.

I hear potential clients all the time say, I don't need a trust because I already but my, spouse, kid, grandkid, etc. on the title of my accounts and/or house.
While it is true that doing this can avoid probate, it is only prolonging the time until probate is needed and it isn't the best way to transfer assets.
Let me show you why.
Let's say Mom owns her house outright.
She realizes that she is getting older and might actually die so she puts the oldest of her 4 kids on the deed with her.
Her though process is that, when I die it will go automatically (sort of true) to my son and then he can split it with his siblings.
