Yes. A will ensures your assets go to the right people and simplifies legal matters for your loved ones. Without one, state laws will decide who inherits.
A will takes effect after death and goes through probate, while a trust can manage assets during your life and often avoids probate altogether. Each has unique benefits.
Absolutely. In fact, estate planning is especially important for non-citizens or dual nationals who own U.S. assets, due to unique tax and legal rules.
