Significance Of Estate Planning Trusts

By Christine McDonald


There are two kinds of trusts. Implementation of living trusts starts before you die while testamentary trusts can only be implemented upon your demise. The concept is very simple but the strategies can be complicated for people who are not familiar with estate planning trusts.

You have to consider your intended use and even the personal situation in order to make a wise decision on what to go for. People who have children begotten from previous marriages or outside the marriage bed will find this useful if they are mindful of the welfare of the children.

Not everyone is good in financial planning. Therefore, you have to consider this option when your spouse is not a financial expert. He or she might end up running things down in your absence if you do not appoint a trustee to help out. It will be unfortunate for the properties you have worked hard to attain your entire life to be wasted before you are even cold in the ground.

Disabled people might not be able to manage things well without help. Many a times, con-men might approach them in an attempt to pry on their helplessness especially if they are deemed wealthy. In case the beneficiary is disabled, you need to have a plan on how he or she will be assisted in management of the estates in case you are incapacitated or dead.

You can set up a trust for your grandchildren or children. Such plans can be taken as gifts. The beneficiaries are paid a small sum of money throughout their childhood until they attain a certain age in which they are paid the money in lump sum. The plan can be helpful especially if the families are not well off financially or disaster strikes and the wealth is lost.

Taxation is applicable on the trust money. However, it is less complicated in this than when you have not indicated what is to happen to your children. Taxation when the trust takes effect on death is fixed while in the other cases the circumstances dictate the actions to be taken. It is a big relief to you and the other people if the matter is handled in the most civil way.

If the beneficiaries die and there is no surviving family member they would wish to transfer the properties to, you can select a charity organization of your choice to receive the money or estates. Every person is encouraged to extend a hand in helping the less fortunate in the society. No one wishes to be poor or helpless but it is something that sometimes cannot be avoided. If the well-off members of the society assist then the world will be a better place.

Probates are in charge of distribution of the properties and money left behind in case of your death when you had not made arrangements on what should happen to such in the event of you death. They rarely act according to your wishes and if you do not wish for this to happen then it is better to create trusts early enough. It is never too early for death because it cuts across all age groups, races and social classes.
