FAQ
As far as the Internal Revenue Service is concerned, trust property belongs to the grantor. The grantor names a trustee to manage the assets, but during their lifetime, most people name themselves in this position. A successor trustee is named to carry on when the grantor dies or becomes incapacitated.
Many people use a revocable living trust because it gives them more control over the trust assets. Putting your house in a revocable trust still allows you to change the terms of the trust or remove the house from the trust if you want to.
Key Takeaways. A revocable living trust is a trust document created by an individual that can be changed over time. Revocable living trusts are used to avoid probate and to protect the privacy of the trust owner and beneficiaries of the trust as well as minimize estate taxes.
Creation of a Trust To create a trust, the property owner (called the "trustor," "grantor," or "settlor") transfers legal ownership to a family member, professional, or institution (called the "trustee") to manage that property for the benefit of another person (called the "beneficiary").
Trust property refers to the assets placed into a trust, which are controlled by the trustee on behalf of the trustor's beneficiaries.Estate planning allows for trust property to pass directly to the designated beneficiaries upon the trustor's death without probate.
Due to changes in the tax laws, most revocable trusts can now be treated as part of a decedent's estate for federal income tax purposes.
A revocable trust is a trust whereby provisions can be altered or canceled dependent on the grantor or the originator of the trust.Provisions of the trust can be changed, and the estate will be transferred to the beneficiaries upon the trustor's death.
When the maker of a revocable trust, also known as the grantor or settlor, dies, the assets become property of the trust. If the grantor acted as trustee while he was alive, the named co-trustee or successor trustee will take over upon the grantor's death.
