Vermont Trusts Detailed Guide

  • Trusts Vermont forms refer to the legal documents specifically designed for creating trusts in the state of Vermont. These forms are used to establish a legally binding agreement between the creator of the trust (known as the settler) and the trustee, who manages the trust assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries.

  • There are several main types of Trusts Vermont forms based on their purpose and the designated beneficiaries. Some common types include:

    • Revocable Living Trust: This form allows the settler to retain control over the trust assets during their lifetime and specifies how the assets should be distributed after their death.
    • Irrevocable Trust: With this form, the settler gives up their control and ownership of the assets, thereby ensuring the assets are protected and used for the intended beneficiaries.
    • Special Needs Trust: This form is created to provide financial support for individuals with disabilities while protecting their eligibility for government assistance programs.
    • Charitable Remainder Trust: This form allows the settler to donate assets to a charitable organization while retaining an income stream from those assets during their lifetime.
