If you have a living trust, you can title your contracts into the trust, as well as your home and other accounts. You will need a lawyer to set it up. It is usually more expensive than a will, but one of the advantages is that you avoid probate. Helpful, especially if you own property in more than one date. Trusts are also private. Wills go through probate and are not private. Don't forget to update the beneficiaries on your accounts. Lots to do. So sorry for your loss.
