A will is a legal document that directs how a deceased’s estate should be administered and distributed.

Estate planning is the prospective planning process that goes into arranging your affairs while you’re still alive to best effectuate your wishes after you’re gone. This likely includes drafting a will with the advice of an attorney, although living trusts are more popular as the primary estate planning device in modern times.
