TRUSTS FOR ESTATE PLANNING

by Attorney Edward H. Adamsky

Trusts are a useful yet misunderstood tool of Estate Planning. The problem is that there are so many different kinds of trusts. Trusts can be Revocable, which means they can be changed, or Irrevocable, which means they cannot be changed. There are many specialized trusts for particular purposes like Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs), QTIP Trusts (for estate-tax planning), Special Needs Trusts (to handle assets for a …

Remember that your Will or Trust only controls assets that are not controlled in some other way. Many of your assets pass by Beneficiary Designation rather than through the terms or your Will or Trust. The common ones are Life Insurance and Retirement Accounts. You can also name beneficiaries on bank accounts with the ITF designation (a misnomer as it stands for “In Trust For,” but is really just a beneficiary designation) and you can …
