Living Trust:
Sometimes called an inter vivos (Latin
for "within one's life") trust, a trust created
by a declaration of trust executed by the trustor or
trustors (also called settlor or settlors) during his/her/their
lifetime, as distinguished from a "testamentary
trust," which is created by a will and only comes
into force upon the death of the person who wrote the
will. A living trust should not be confused with a "living
will," which provides for medical care decisions
when a person is terminally ill. While a living trust
is a generic name for any trust which comes into existence
during the lifetime of the person or persons creating
the trust, most commonly it is a trust in which the
trustor(s) or settlor(s) receive benefit(s) from the
profits of the trust during their lifetimes, followed
by a distribution upon the death of the last trustor
(settlor) to die, or the trust continues on for the
benefit of others (such as the next generation) with
profits distributed to them. There are other types of
living trusts including irrevocable trust, insurance
trust, charitable remainder trust and some special-
ized trusts to manage some parts of the assets of a
person or persons.
Simply speaking a Trust is a fictitious
legal entity which owns assets for the benefit of a
third person (beneficiary). A Living Trust is an effective
way to provide lifetime and after-death property management
and estate planning. When you set up a Living Trust,
you are the Grantor; anyone you name within the Trust
who will benefit from the assets in the Trust is a beneficiary.
In addition to being the Grantor, you can also serve
as your own Trustee (Original Trustee). As the Original
Trustee, you can transfer legal ownership of your property
to the Trust. This can save your estate from estate
taxes when you die. Just remember that it does not alleviate
your current income tax obligations.
There are a variety of Trusts you
can set up, which include these common choices: Living
Trust, Spendthrift Trust, Bypass Trust (also know as
a Life Estate or A-B Trust), Totten Trust and Testamentary
Trust. The type of trust available through this service
is the A-B Trust, which is designed to let the $1 million
tax exemption be used by each spouse.
Through the A-B Trust, the surviving
spouse can receive any portion of the decedent's estate
free of estate tax. The surviving spouse never legally
owns the property within the Trust because it's legally
owned by the Trust. The spouse can use the assets and
property within the estate with certain restrictions.
[Back to top]
Irrevocable Trust:
A trust which cannot be changed or
canceled once it is set up without the consent of the
beneficiary. contributions cannot be taken out of the
trust by the grantor. Irrevocable trusts offer tax advantages
that revocable trusts don't, for example by enabling
a person to give money and assets away even before he/she
dies. (opposite of revocable trust.)
[Back to top]
Revocable Trust:
A trust that may be altered or terminated
during the grantor's lifetime. Since the trust may be
altered at any time until the grantor's death, it is
considered part of the grantor's estate and is subject
to taxation. The property is passed on to the beneficiaries
only after the grantor's death, and the revocable trust
then becomes irrevocable.
