FAQ
Trusts offer amazing benefits, but they also come with potential downsides like loss of control, limited access to assets, costs, and recordkeeping difficulties.
The grantor, or the current property owner, must sign the deed in the presence of a notary public. The grantor must also formally transfer the property from their name to the trust's name. This step solidifies the legal transfer and ensures that the living trust holds the property.
Trusts also can be very useful for asset protection purposes if the creditors of the beneficiary are prevented from reaching the trust's assets. A trust can be an effective way to place assets outside the reach of creditors.
Putting assets, such as real estate, financial accounts, investments, insurance policies, and personal properties, in a living trust involves certain steps depending on the type of asset. These assets can be moved into the trust through legal documents such as deeds, title transfers, or assignments.
The transfer document should list assets you're transferring to the Trust. It's good to be specific, but you can use broad categories (like “furniture,” “clothing,” “jewelry,” etc.) without listing every item in each of those categories.
Grantors opting for these trusts lose their ownership rights to the assets within them. They lose the ability to decide how to manage or sell these assets.
In most situations, one would typically want to maintain full control of personal property assets. As a result, few would use this type of trust planning for personal property. An exception might be an heirloom of great value that spends most of its time in a safe deposit box.
Trusts also can be very useful for asset protection purposes if the creditors of the beneficiary are prevented from reaching the trust's assets. A trust can be an effective way to place assets outside the reach of creditors. However, not all forms of a trust will function as an asset protection device.
