The trouble with wills is that they become public at death since wills go through probate. This means that they can easily be challenged in court. Creating a
trust is more expensive, but it is much harder to challenge in court since they do not go through probate. Discuss this with your lawyer to get his opinion
about the laws in your state or country to see if a trust would suit your wishes better after you and your wife pass. Both my Dad and Brother had trusts and it
was quite easy to dispose of their assests with few problems. Either way, there is plenty of paperwork and some always a few hiccups, but overall the trusts went
pretty smooth. Good luck.
