Services :: Trusts

The Business Dictionary defines a Trust as a "legal entity created by a party (the trustor) through which a second party (the trustee) holds the right to manage the trustor's assets or property for the benefit of a third party (the beneficiary)." 

There are many uses of a Trust, whether it be to manage the trustor's assets during life or after death, or provide a less-taxed, easier way to endow estates to the beneficiary(ies).

Trusts are often used to manage property, assets, or estates being held for a minor or person incapable of being financially accountable until that person be deemed able to manage the assets themselves.

Some different kinds of Trust are:

• Testamentary Trusts
• Revocable Living Trusts
• Education Trusts
• Crummey Trusts
• Special Need Trusts
• Pooled Trusts
• Irrevocable Trusts
