A Will has no legal effect until a court admits it to probate (proving). A trust is a private document but only affects those items which are titled in the name of the trustee as trustee for the trust.  It need not be submitted to court unless there is a dispute.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
