What Is a Trust?

A trust is an estate planning tool that can help you protect your assets, control who receives those assets, and provide benefits to your loved ones. A trust is an agreement between a trustee, who controls the trust, and a beneficiary, who receives benefits from the trust.

The trustee controls the trust and determines how the trust's assets are distributed. The trustee can be a person or an organization, such as a bank. The beneficiary receives benefits from the trust. The beneficiary can be a person or an organization. For example, a trust may provide benefits to a child attending college.

A trust can be created during your lifetime or after your death. A living trust allows you to make changes at any time. A testamentary trust is created after your death. A testamentary trust is often referred to as a will substitute.

A trust can provide benefits to your loved ones while also protecting your assets. The trustee can determine how to distribute the trust's assets, and the beneficiary may not receive the full value of the trust's assets. For example, the trust may provide benefits to a child attending college, but the trust may not provide enough to cover the full cost of tuition. The trust can also provide benefits to charities and other organizations.
