Trusts
Types of Trusts
Living Trust or Testamentary Trust
The living trust is a written document in which an individual’s assets are provided as well-mannered for their lifetime.
Revocable Trust or Irrevocable Trust
A revocable trust can be terminated or changed by the trustor during the person’s lifetime. An irrevocable trust, can not be changed once established.
Funded Trust or Unfunded Trust
As it implies a “funded trust” has assets put into it by the trustor during their lifetime. The unfunded trust consists only of a trust agreement without funding.
Common Purposes For Trusts Our Paralegal Team Services:
Care
Trusts serve various purposes, accessible to more than just the affluent, despite potential costs. They can secure essential medical care for dependent children and adults with disabilities, offer flexibility for family members with varying needs, and provide stability by aligning shared objectives through legally binding agreements.
Estate Planning
The benefits of using trusts for estate planning can be difficult to put into words. Historically, a deceased person’s assets are passed to the spouse and then divided equally among children. For minor-aged children a trustee may manage assets until adulthood–their limited power allows them only so much control over what goes on behalf of anyone who might succeed them.
Basis
Assets in a revocable trust benefit from being taxed at the heir’s lower rate, which can result in substantial savings for future generations that inherit these assets. However, if you place them in an irrevocable trust they will be subject to carryover basis or their original cost price!
Privacy
Some trusts are created simply for privacy. Terms of a will can be public in some jurisdictions. Generally speaking, a will’s conditions are applied through a trust. Trusts can make intentions not publicly posted or known.
