What types of trusts are available to me in Pennsylvania?
Our Pennsylvania firm recognizes that not everyone has the same life circumstances. As a result, there are a number of different trusts available for those who have varying situations. Some of the most common trusts that are available to choose from in Pennsylvania include, and are not limited to the following:
- Revocable Trust: This kind of trust is one of the most typically selected by trustors because it has the capability of being modified, changed, or terminated at any moment without the requirement of the beneficiary’s permission.
- Irrevocable Trust: Here, this type of trust needs a trustor to give up their rights and any access to the trust at the time that it is produced. This suggests they cannot change or terminate it at any point.
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust: This type of trust allows a trustor to remove their life insurance from the estate plan so that their beneficiaries are free from any taxes that are put on it.
- Charitable Trust: There are two different kinds of charitable trusts. A charitable trust permits the individual’s choice of charity to gain interest from the financial gift for a specific period of time. Once the period terminates, the remaining assets may go to other beneficiaries. A charitable remainder trust allows charities to receive the assets in a trust at the end of its term. Until then, the donor sustains interest in the gift.
- Special Needs Trust: This refers to when a loved one with a disability is selected by a trustor to make sure they receive the financial support they need throughout their life.
