Personal Trusts

Trusts are a useful tool to manage wealth. A trust can be created to transfer assets to your children, fund charitable works, or provide for adults with diminished abilities to care for themselves.

When creating a trust, you'll encounter the following common terms:

  • Trustee - the individual or an institution who will administer the trust when you are gone or unable to manage it on your own.
  • Beneficiary(ies) - the individual or institution who will benefit from the trust.
  • Creator, trustor, grantor, donor - the individual who has created the trust.

Your financial advisor can provide more information about how a trust might fit into your retirement planning.
