Will Drafting in Arkansas

Wills and trusts are foundational tools used in estate planning. A will directs how property is distributed after death and allows parents to nominate guardians for minor children.

A trust can hold and manage assets during life or after death and may provide additional control, privacy, and efficiency. Trusts are often used to manage assets for children, avoid probate, or distribute property over time rather than all at once.

Both wills and trusts must meet specific legal requirements under Arkansas law to be valid. Improper drafting or execution can lead to disputes, delays, or unintended outcomes.

Choosing between a will, a trust, or a combination of both depends on individual goals, family structure, and asset types. Understanding the role of wills and trusts helps individuals select the right tools for their estate plan.
