When you have an estate, you need to protect it in the interest of your loved ones in case of any unforeseen circumstances. The only solution to this is to create trust.
The prime advantage of creating a private trust is that it can protect and manage your assets for your family, relatives, and loved ones.
Moreover, you can also get tax exemption on your property, thus saving you from unnecessary expenses.
Components of a private trust
When you create trust, there have to be three essential components:
Grantor:
A Grantor is a person who makes the trust. He is the owner of the property.
Trustee:
You have to create a trustee who will manage the trust. It oversees and manages the assets of the trust.
Beneficiaries:
Beneficiaries are persons who will benefit from the trust in case of any unnatural inconvenience.
Therefore, if you create a private trust, your family and loved ones will significantly benefit in terms of money if the Grantor dies.
The working of a Trust
When the Grantor creates a private trust, he transfers the tangible assets to the trustee, who then oversees the management of the assets.
The grantor instructs the trustee on how to distribute assets in case of his death.
The trustee then manages the assets for a particular time and then allocates them to the members as per the Will of the Grantor.
There are two types of Private Trust:
- Revocable Trust: A revocable trust is called a living trust. Hence you will be able to make changes at any point in time.
- Irrevocable Trust: You will not be able to modify or alter an irrevocable trust. Once you create the will, it remains unaltered.
Creating a Private Trust
You can easily create a private trust as it is fast and easy. The Grantor will write down his requirements with specific conditions regarding his assets.
