What Is A Trust?

A trust is a legal document that establishes a fiduciary relationship that allows a trustee to hold property on behalf of beneficiaries named in the document. Unlike a will, a trust can become effective prior to your death.

Whether you establish a revocable living trust or an irrevocable trust, there are benefits and consequences that you should understand. Legislative changes can also affect a trust already in place. These are only two reasons why you should consult with an experienced lawyer.

  • What assets can I put in a trust? Real property, IRA and 401(k) accounts, life insurance, security accounts, small-business interests, intellectual property, art and antiques, valuable collections and other types of property
