What Are Intestate Succession Laws?: If someone passes away without an estate plan, they are considered to have passed away intestate. In this case, the state uses a legal formula to distribute their assets. These formulas, called intestate succession laws, vary by state but generally prioritize: spouse and children, then parents, then siblings, then more distant relatives. There’s no consideration for close friends, unmarried partners, or charitable causes—no matter how central they were in the person’s life. Pets aren’t provided for either.

What Assets Shouldn't Be Funded in a Trust?: Funding a trust means putting assets into the trust. However, funding isn't the best option for all assets—for some assets, naming the trust as a beneficiary is a better way to go. Those assets include: retirement accounts, life insurance policies, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), vehicles, and everyday checking accounts.
