Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Re: trusts and estates

Unless the Will has some specific provision requiring a trust, you have no authority to do so on your own. You do not describe what circumstances may require this? For example, while the Will may be silent, are minors or incompetents involved? Your concerns might be addressed by an outright transfer, followed by the simultaneous creation and funding of a trust. More information is needed to provide a direct response.
