Best Answer

The trust (and trustees) might be able to get such a loan, provided the terms of the trust are examined by the bank and found to permit the bank to foreclose (take possession) of the home in case of default. Some lawyers insert restrictions on the type of risks that can be taken with property held in trust for others.

Can a trust lend money to a beneficiary to buy a house even though the trust usually distributes income to the beneficiary at year end?

If funds need to be used that are in a trust how do you get the funds out?

Funds that are held in trust are under the complete control of the trustee. The provisions of the trust dictate how the trustee will manage those funds. You need to review the terms of the trust with the trustee and determine how and if the funds can be accessed. If the terms of the trust are insufficient or there is no provision under which the trust property can be accessed then a court of equity has the power to modify the trust. You may need to seek the advice of an attorney who is familiar with trust law in your state.
