Types of Trusts

 

 

There are different types of Trusts as follows:

Testamentary Trust. A Testamentary Trust is a Trust created in your Will and does not become effective until your Will has been admitted to probate, at which time the Trust will be established and once property is placed in the Trust, the Trustee will administer the property as set forth in your Will.

Living Trust. A Living Trust can be either revocable or irrevocable. A Revocable Trust can be changed or terminated by you at any time prior to your death or incapacity. An Irrevocable Trust is as its name implies in that it generally may not be revoked or amended by the individual establishing the Trust. Most Living Trusts used in an individual's estate planning documents are revocable, permitting them to make changes to the Trust as they desire.

  Did You Know?  
 
A "Living Trust" can be used to hold legal title to and provide a mechanism to manage your property

You can select a person or or a group of people to serve as the Trustee. They then carry out the instructions you want in the Trust and name one or more Successor Trustees to take over should you no longer be able to. Unlike a Will, a Trust generally goes into effect immediately, functions throughout your lifetime even if you become incapacitated, and continues even after your death. Most Trusts are revocable meaning that the person who creates the Trust can make modifications or terminate the Trust in the future.
