Hi there,
The best way to strategize your estate plan is likely a simple, revocable trust, though you should call an attorney in your area to have a more thorough evaluation first. You likely want to avoid probate, and a trust will accomplish that.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (312)300-4743 or email at sms@sexauerlaw.com, and I'll be happy to speak with you.
Best,
Stephanie Sexauer
