I'm a 42 single male without children in the State Of California. I don't own any property but I have over 1 million dollars in assets. Some of it is in retirement but the majority of it is in financial accounts. Would a will or a trust be more appropriate in this situation? Or neither? I have already designated my beneficiaries through the financial institutions that have the money.
What you have done may be sufficient. But in some circumstances, a will or trust might be better. For example, if any one of the beneficiaries is under 18 or if one of the beneficiaries passes away before you.
