What is a living trust?
It is a written legal document that partially substitutes for a will. With a?living trust, your assets (your home, bank accounts and stocks, for example) are put into the trust, administered for your benefit during your lifetime, and then transferred to your beneficiaries when you die.
Most people name themselves as the?trustee?in charge of managing their trust?s assets. This way, even though your assets have been put into the trust, you can remain in control of your assets during your lifetime. You can also name a successor trustee (a person or an institution) who will manage the trust?s assets if you ever become unable or unwilling to do so yourself.
The living trust described is a revocable living trust (sometimes referred to as a?revocable inter vivos trust?or a?grantor trust). Such a trust may be amended or revoked at any time by the person or persons who created it (commonly known as the?trustor(s), grantor(s)?or?settlor(s))?as long as he, she, or they are still competent.
Your living trust agreement:
- Gives the trustee the legal right to manage and control the assets held in your trust.
- Instructs the trustee to manage the trust?s assets for your benefit during your lifetime.
- Names the?beneficiaries?(persons or charitable organizations) who are to receive your trust?s assets when you die.
- Gives guidance and certain powers and authority to the trustee to manage and distribute your trust?s assets. The trustee is a?fiduciary, which means he or she holds a position of trust and confidence and is subject to strict responsibilities and very high standards. For example, the trustee cannot use your trust?s assets for his or her own personal use or benefit without your explicit permission. Instead, the trustee must hold and use trust assets solely for the benefit of the trust?s beneficiaries.
