FAQ
Irrevocable trusts generally end after the death of the grantor, when all of the assets are distributed by the trustee to the beneficiaries. The grantor can also specify an end date or a condition that must be met before the assets can be distributed.
Steps to Closing Out a Trust After Death Step 1: Notify Beneficiaries and Creditors. The first task for the successor trustee is to notify both the beneficiaries and creditors. Step 2: Inventory and Value Assets. Step 3: Settle Debts and Taxes. Step 4: Distribute Assets to Beneficiaries. Step 5: Dissolve the Trust.
A trust can remain open for up to 21 years after the death of anyone living at the time of the trust's creation, but that is not common procedure. Most trusts are settled when the grantor dies, and the successor trustee distributes the assets as quickly as possible.
Seeking Legal Counsel The trustee should have a trust lawyer to guide them through how to dissolve a trust after the grantor's death. Your trust lawyer can help to identify any dissolving trust tax implications. A trust lawyer can help you understand can a trustee revoke a revocable trust.
If the beneficiary of a trust or will passes away, the person who established the trust or will is required to amend their estate plan. The estate plan will still be in effect if this occurs.
