Utah Trust Attorney

A trust is a legal relationship in which property is transferred from one party, the trustor, to a trustee. The trustee holds the property the beneficiaries, who ultimately reap the benefit from the creation of the trust.

Generally speaking there are two kinds of trusts:

• Testamentary Trusts are incorporated directly into a will and are subject to probate.
• Living Trusts take effect while the trustor is still alive. Living trusts are not bound by probate, giving them a distinct advantage over testamentary trusts.

Revocable Living Trust: Revocable living trusts are popular choices in estate planning because they are highly flexible. The trustor has the right to change, amend, or terminate the trust at any time during his or her lifetime. A revocable living trust simplifies the transfer of assets allowing many of our clients to achieve their estate planning goals while avoiding the probate process.

A trust may be created for any valid purpose. Examples of a valid trust purpose include providing for the health, maintenance, support, and welfare of the trustor, his or her family, or friends.
