What is a trust?

A trust is a legal contract. One person, the “grantor” or “settlor,” transfers ownership of their assets to another person, the “trustee,” to manage those assets for a third person or group, the “beneficiaries.” In name, the property that has been placed in the trust belongs to the trust. A trust can also be simply understood as follows: the settlor puts the property in the trust for the benefit of the beneficiary, and the trustee manages and distributes the property according to the settlor’s wishes. A trust is like a corporation, where the founder is the grantor or settlor, the general manager is the trustee, and the stockholder is the beneficiary. If one person assumes all three roles in the trust, it is called a “living trust.”

Who needs to create a living trust?

Have a high income, want to legally reduce their income taxes

Want to protect their assets

What types of trusts are there, and what are their features?

There are two broad ways to classify trusts. The first way is defined by the grantor’s ability to control the trust. Under this classification, there are two types of trusts: revocable and irrevocable. The second way is defined by time. Under this classification, there are also two types: a living trust and a testamentary trust.

Let’s explore revocable and irrevocable trusts further.

Revocable Trust: In this type of trust, the grantor retains complete control over the trust. A living trust is a type of revocable trust.
Irrevocable Trust: In this type of trust, the grantor relinquishes the right of ownership and control over the trust. Once the terms of the trust are set, neither the grantor nor the manager is able to modify or cancel it.
