An Example of a QTIP Marital Trust He has two children from a previous marriage. The QTIP trust names his wife and his son as Co-Trustees.

Legally, to qualify as a QTIP trust, the trust is required to pay all of its income to the spouse beneficiary, and there can't be any other beneficiaries during that spouse's lifetime. This allows couples to ensure that a spouse is taken care of financially.
The grantor spouse (usually the wealthier spouse) puts property into the QTIP trust for the benefit of the other spouse (the ?beneficiary?) during the beneficiary spouse's lifetime. At the beneficiary spouse's death, the trust's remainder will go to the grantor spouse's children or wherever the grantor has decided.
