What Is a Trust?
When establishing a trust, an individual or entity creates a fiduciary arrangement that allows another named party to take control of assets on behalf of the owner of those assets. Trusts are powerful legal tools that can protect you and your family’s assets. Once established, a trust gives a trustee control over enumerated holdings on behalf of a named beneficiary.
- Revocable Living Trusts
- Irrevocable Trusts
- Special Needs Trusts
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts
- Charitable Trusts
A trust can be arranged in many ways, so establishing a trust that meets your goals can require careful planning. It’s important to begin by choosing the legal tool suits your needs.
