FAQ
Trusts offer amazing benefits, but they also come with potential downsides like loss of control, limited access to assets, costs, and recordkeeping difficulties.
A trust may be an entity for other purposes, just like a trade name might be considered an entity in some aspects, but it's not an entity that can hold title. It's a fiduciary arrangement between the settlor and the trustee.
Is it better to put assets in my child's name or in a trust? The short answer is no! It is generally a bad idea to do this because this gives them partial legal ownership if your property. This is a common question and we want to give you the necessary information so you can make an informed decision. _________
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.
Often, a Trust will be created along with a Will, which stipulates how holdings of the Trustor are to be distributed. Trusts can cover assets like real estate, but there may be other valuables that need to be transferred too. These valuables are known as Personal Property.
Rigidity: Family trusts are often inflexible, making it difficult to alter the terms once they are established. This rigidity can be problematic if family circumstances change, such as in cases of divorce, remarriage or changes in financial status.
To transfer real property into your Trust, a new deed reflecting the name of the Trust must be executed, notarized and recorded with the County Recorder in the County where the property is located. Care must be taken that the exact legal description in the existing deed appears on the new deed.
Importantly, assets held in trust do not need to go through probate court—allowing your beneficiaries to access their inheritances more easily and quickly. While it may make sense for some people to have only a will, typically those with a trust(s) should also have a will to cover any property not covered by the trust.
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.
