A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee (like RBFCU) holds property for the benefit of beneficiaries. Understanding the various types of trusts and their specific advantages is key to choosing the right solution for your financial goals. Trusts offer significant benefits over a standard will, particularly in avoiding probate and providing more control over asset distribution. For a general overview of trusts, you can refer to resources like Investopedia's explanation of trusts.
