Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is a trust, and why do I need one?
A trust is a legal arrangement that allows you to transfer assets to a trustee, who manages and distributes them according to your instructions. Trusts offer benefits such as probate avoidance, asset protection, and flexibility in wealth distribution.
-
What type of trust is right for me?
The type of trust depends on your specific goals. A revocable living trust provides flexibility during your lifetime, while an irrevocable trust offers enhanced asset protection. Special needs trusts are designed to provide for individuals with disabilities without jeopardizing government assistance.
-
Can I be the trustee of my own trust?
Yes, in a revocable living trust, you can serve as the initial trustee, retaining control over your assets. However, for irrevocable trusts, it's common to appoint an independent trustee to manage the trust for added protection and tax benefits.
-
How does a trust help with estate planning?
Trusts are powerful estate planning tools. They can help minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and provide for a smooth transfer of assets to beneficiaries. Trusts also offer privacy as they are not subject to public record, unlike wills.
