What Are Trusts

Trusts Law

Trusts are written instruments that give title to or an interest in real estate. A trustee holds title on behalf of the lender, known as the beneficiary who is the legal owner.The two main kinds of trusts are living trusts and testamentary trusts.

A Living Trust is a trust that is created and goes into effect during the lifetime of the grantor.

A Testamentary Trust is a trust that is set into motion by the court after the will reaches a certain point of execution, and is used only after the death of the person whose estate it represents.

Many trusts are created as an alternative to or in conjunction with a will and other elements of estate planning. State law establishes the framework for determining the validity and limits for both.
