The Benefits Of Estate Planning Trusts

The Benefits Of Estate Planning Trusts


by Christine McDonald


Trusts are different with some taking effect while you are still alive while others are only acted upon when you die. However, they are useful in attaining goals in estate planning. The strategies can be complicated but the concept is very straightforward. Read on to know more about estate planning trusts.

Your personal situation and intended use will guide you to determine whether to establish living or testamentary trust. People who have children born out of wedlock or from previous marriages will find this helpful because most of the time such children are left out when the properties are being divided upon your death by the current family.

Financial expertise comes with appropriate education and experience. You should not entrust your assets to a person who has no idea on what to do with them even if it is your spouse or child. Appointing an experienced person to help them in the management and making business decisions will be wise.

Disabled people can only do much when it comes to management of assets. If the task is overwhelming then they can take unwise measures in looking for help. There are people who are in search for such individuals in order to exploit them. You cannot put your beneficiaries in such a compromising situation. Ensure that they have a trustworthy person to advise them and act on their behalf should the need for this arise.

The trust can be your gift to your young ones or even grandchildren. It will safeguard their future in case financial difficulties set in. Even promising children might be forced to drop out of school or settle for less than they had dreamed of due to financial constraints. The trust money is paid in small rates until the indicated age for paying lump sum is attained.

Tax has to be paid and the technicalities can be complicated. Living trusts are highly taxed but if the beneficiaries are adults then they will be taxed independently. However, the tax on testamentary trust is fixed. The scenarios might change depending on the circumstances. However, it will be a relief on your part if you do not have to handle the process on your own or leave the burden to the beneficiaries.

In case the beneficiaries die, you can name a charitable organization that will receive the proceeds. It is good to think about the less fortunate in the society because they too have needs. Helping those who are in need will bring you more joy than knowing that your bank balance is high. You should factor them when spending or making budget plans.

There is no probation when it comes to distribution of your assets upon your sudden demise if you had a trust. If the legal system has to come in to intervene, your needs will not be fulfilled accordingly. Thus, it is advisable to make such plans in good time because death can strike suddenly. It does not matter your age. You need to start thinking about trusts if you have considerable amount of wealth and properties.
