How Does Probate Affect Will Vs Trust?

One of the biggest reasons I’m researching Will Vs Trust is the difference involving probate. A will generally becomes part of the probate process when it is used to transfer assets after someone dies. Depending on local law, probate can involve court administration, paperwork, costs, and delays. Properly funded trust assets can generally pass according to the trust without going through the same probate process. I’m wondering how significant this difference is for an average family. Has anyone experienced probate personally and found that having a trust would have made the process easier?
