What is a Trust?
A financial trust is very complicated, but to simplify: It is a way to gift or donate money from one person to another. There are tax incentives based on the type of trust that is set up. You often hear of a trust being made for children and other heirs. A trust can be used to take care of a certain property. Basically, you can set up a trust under certain conditions for a beneficiary, which can be a relative, institution or a piece of property.
Every trust has a trust manager or trustee who is responsible for managing the trust and seeing that the guidelines are carried out in the interest of the beneficiaries.
A living trust is created to hold ownership of an individual's assets during the person's lifetime for distribution after death. It is often used because it may allow assets to be passed to heirs without going through probate, though the beneficiaries will typically not avoid inheritance or estate taxes.
