August is “Make-a-Will Month,” a great reminder to get your affairs in order on your terms. A will or trust helps ensure that your wishes are followed and your family is cared for, no matter what happens.
August is National Make-a-Will Month: PDCU Members Save 20% with Trust & Will.
People Driven Credit Union has partnered with Trust & Will to offer members an easy, affordable way to create a legally sound estate plan online. PDCU members save 20% on any estate plan with Trust & Will.
Why a Will (or Trust) Matters
Clarity for your family: Decide who receives what and who handles your estate.
Guardians for minors: Name who will care for your children if you’re unable.
Avoid default rules: Without a plan, state intestacy laws decide—not you.
Reduce delays & disruption: A clear plan can simplify administration and reduce friction.

Wills and Trusts have a lot of overlap, but also a lot of differences.
Wills are simpler documents that let you name guardians for kids and pets, designate where assets go, and specify final arrangements. The simplicity of a Will does come with some drawbacks: a Will offers more limited control over the distribution of assets and often must go through a probate process after death.
Like a Will, a Trust also controls the disposition of assets but provides greater control over when and how your assets are distributed. Trusts only apply to assets held in the Trust, so you will need to transfer assets to the Trust. This makes a Trust a little more complex to set up, but it brings a major benefit. Trusts are also often used to minimize or avoid probate entirely, which can be a huge draw for many and justifies the additional work upfront needed to create a Trust.
Both are ways to say who will receive your assets - Each has different ways of distributing those assets, as well as different advantages and disadvantages.
