Similar documents: key differences

  • Will vs. Trust — a will distributes assets after death; a trust manages them during life and after.
  • Formal Will vs. Holographic Will — a formal will follows specific signing rules; a holographic will is handwritten and less formal.
  • Mutual Will vs. Mirror Will — mutual wills bind both parties to the same terms; mirror wills are similar but not necessarily binding.
  • Statutory Will vs. Standard Will — a statutory will follows a state-provided format; a standard will can be customized.
