property that passes through a living trust does not go through probate, which can save your loved ones time and money. Many people make living trusts specifically to avoid probate. On the downside, living trusts are generally more complicated and expensive to set up and maintain. You cannot use your living trust to name an executor or name guardians for young children, so even if you have a living trust, you still need a will to do those things. In fact, most people who make a living trust have a will as well.
