What is the difference between a will and trust?

I have been living with a man for almost 20 yrs. At my request and many upsetting episodes. He agreed to buy me a house with his credit. My was not good enough. I invested my money for a down payment. Money I had in cd's at the bank. When I got this insurance settlement. The cd's were put in both our names. I do not know why they did that. Well, he promised if I used the cd's money for a down payment, he would give a paper that if he died the house was mine. He changed his mind. Now, he has a will drawn up with his lawyer, that I can have the house when he dies. I was going to pay the fee for this. But, after thinking it over. I know that he can change his will anytime he wants too.What would be the best solution, just in case he did die for me to keep the house? and his children be involved with the house. Thanks. Maria

What does the word trustee mean in a will?

A trustee is a person to whom control over trust assets (cash, securities or other property) has been placed (by the trust creator) for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries.Generally speaking a person or persons with powers of attorney may also be involved.I believe that the word "trustee" has the same meaning regardless of whether it appears in a will or in an written trust agreement meant to take effect while the trust creator is still alive (aka an inter vivos trust).For example, the testator (the person making his or her will) might want to leave a great deal of money or property to grandchildren who may be still too young to manage it wisely when the testator dies and the grandchildren are in a position to inherit. To delay the grandchildren's actual receipt of the inheritance until they are old enough, the testator may instruct in his will that the money or property is to be held by a namedtrustee until the grandchildren reach a specified age. The testator should make it clear who is to act as trustee (or alternate trustee, if the first-named trustee cannot serve.)A trustee has a serious legal responsibility to protect and preserve trust property, and invest it prudently (unless the testator has explicitly forbidden the trustee to invest the funds, which is probably very rare), and never to use the trust principal or income (if any) for his or her own benefit, even if he intends to "borrow" and repay the funds; if he does so, he is breaching his duty. However, a testator or other trust creator may provide in writing that the trustee may be paid his or her fee out of the trust assets, or be reimbursed for any trust-related expenses he or she incurs. Finally, a trustee generally must provide a written accounting of all of the funds coming into and leaving the funds in trust.


If you are entitled to a large inheritance right after bankruptcy how much can the trustee take?

Your bankruptcy trustee has the right to receive your share of the inheritance within 6 months of filing your case. The trustee has the right to receive it all. Typically what happens though is the trustee receives the full amount and then makes a determination of how much is needed to satisfy your estate and debts. If you receive more than is necessary to pay off your debts, you will get a refund. It can take some time though. In rare cases, the trustee may have you cut a check for the amount and you keep the difference. But normally trustees don't trust debtors to do this.

What is a deed?

Generally, the term deed of trust can have different meanings in different jurisdictions and different transactions affecting land:The deed that conveys real property from an individual owner TO the trustee of a a trust that has been created in a separate trust document is called a deed of trust.In a different scheme a deed can convey real property from an individual to another individual AS THE TRUSTEE FOR someone else and then set forth the terms of the trust within the deed document.In either case, a deed of trust is the deed that conveys property TO a trustee. The deed FROM a trustee is not referred to as a deed of trust.In some jurisdictions a deed of trust is used in much the same way as a mortgage with the trustee holding the property until the debt is paid. Once the debt is paid the trustee executes a deed of release.


California attorney convinces her clients she can act as trustee in their living trusts She continues to bill her attorney hourly rate for trustee functions Is this OK?

This is not OK unless the client is fully aware of what he/she is doing and does so as his/her own knowing and voluntary act. In a living trust, the person making the trust (the settlor) has the power to fix the trustee's rate of compensation. In absence of specific directions in the trust, there should be state statutes governing the rate of compensation. If the statutory rate applies, then the attorney may not charge her hourly attorney's rate for what she does in the ordinary exercise of the functions of a trustee. This is generally part of the compensation rate statutes. Another reason why it is not OK is that attorneys are supposed to charge only for legal services rendered unless the client agrees otherwise. The ordinary functions of a trustee, such as investing assets, keeping the books and making payment out of the trust can be performed by a non-attorney and are not considered "legal services". Thus the attorney should not be charging her legal services rate for what are non-legal services. Further, it might even be unethical and even constitute undue influence. If the attorney does not clearly explain that she will be charging her hourly rate and that that will cost much more than the statutory commission statutes provide, then she is not properly representing her client. In fact she is doing her clients a disservice because the attorney must look out for the client's best interest over her own and she is not doing that if she misleads her client into paying more for a trustee's services than the client should be paying. This is especially wrong when the attorney herself is the recipient of the excess amount being paid.


College Education Trust?

College Education Trust(Download)This College Education Trust Agreement ("Agreement" or "Trust") is made effective as of ______________, between __________________, residing at ________________("Grantor") and ("Trustee"). This Trust shall be known as the ________________ College Education Trust, dated ______________. In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement, the Grantor and the Trustee agree as follows.1. Purpose / Irrevocable Trust. The primary purpose of this Trust is to receive and manage assets for the health, education, and support of the beneficiary. THIS TRUST IS IRREVOCABLE. The Grantor realizes that the right to revoke or amend this Trust may be reserved, but that right is expressly waived. This Trust is not subject to alteration, amendment, revocation, or termination by the Grantor or any other person. The Grantor renounces any possible benefit from this Trust.2. Funding of Trust. This Trust is being funded initially with the amount of $________, the receipt of which is acknowledged by the Trustee. Additional funding may be provided by (i) life time gifts made by the Grantor to this Trust, (ii) transfers made to this Trust as testamentary gifts by the Grantor, and (iii) such other transfers of property that may be made to this Trust from time to time by the Grantor or other persons. The Trustee shall manage and distribute the Trust assets for the benefit of the Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.3. Distributions to the Beneficiary. Until the Beneficiary attains the age of 25 years, the Trustee may distribute to or for the sole benefit of the Beneficiary as much of the income and/or principal as the Trustee (in the Trustee's sole discretion) may determine is necessary for the Beneficiary's health, education, and support. Any amount which the Trustee does not distribute to or for the benefit of the Beneficiary shall be accumulated and added to the principal of the Trust. No distributions of principal or income shall be made to or for the Beneficiary which would have the effect of satisfying the Grantor's legal obligation, if any, to support the Beneficiary.4. Education. For the purpose of making distributions under this Trust, the term "education" shall include reasonable costs for college, trade schools, job training, or other costs that reasonably develop income-earning capabilities.5. Termination of the Trust at Age 25 Years. When the Beneficiary attains the age of 21 years, the remaining trust assets shall be distributed to the Beneficiary and this Trust shall then terminate.6. Continuation of Trust. As an alternative to mandatory termination of this Trust at age 25 years, the Beneficiary may request that this Trust be continued. If the Beneficiary makes a written request to continue this Trust within 60 days after the Beneficiary attains the age of 25 years, the Trustee shall continue the Trust until the Beneficiary attains the age of 30 years.a. Distributions After Age 25 Years. During this additional time period, all of the net trust income shall be paid to the Beneficiary at least annually. In addition, the Trustee shall distribute to or for the benefit of the Beneficiary as much of the principal as the Trustee (in the Trustee's sole discretion) may determine is necessary for the Beneficiary's health, education, and support. In making such distributions, the Trustee shall take into consideration any other income and property that is known by the Trustee to be available to the Beneficiary for the above purposes.b. Termination of the Trust If the Trust Has Been Continued Past Age 25 Years. When the Beneficiary attains the age of 30 years, the remaining trust assets shall be distributed to the Beneficiary and this Trust shall then terminate.7. Death of the Beneficiary. If the Beneficiary dies before attaining the age at which this Trust shall terminate, the following provisions shall apply.a. General Testamentary Power of Appointment. The Beneficiary shall have a "general testamentary power of appointment" to distribute the remaining trust assets. Having this power means that the Beneficiary may state in the Beneficiary's last will and testament (or in some other written document that is signed by the Beneficiary and acknowledged before a notary public or similar official) who will receive the remaining trust assets, if the Beneficiary dies before attaining the age at which this Trust shall terminate. The Beneficiary shall have the absolute discretion to state who the beneficiaries will be. The beneficiaries may include the Beneficiary's estate and/or creditors. To validly exercise this power, the Beneficiary's will (or other document) must specifically refer to this power. Upon distribution of the trust assets, this Trust shall then terminate.b. Alternate Distribution. If the Beneficiary fails to validly exercise this general testamentary power of appointment, the Trustee shall distribute the remaining trust assets to the Beneficiary's then surviving descendants on a "per stirpes" basis. If the Beneficiary has no surviving descendants at such time, the remaining trust assets shall be distributed to the Beneficiary's heirs-at-law. Heirship shall be determined in accordance with the intestacy laws of New Hampshire then in effect.c. Failure of the Trustee to Receive Notice. If the Trustee does not receive actual notice of the existence of a will or other document exercising this general testamentary power of appointment within 90 days after the Beneficiary's death, then the Trustee may distribute the trust assets under the prior paragraph as if such power had not been exercised. However, if the power really has been exercised, this paragraph shall not prevent the beneficiary of such a power from enforcing the power as exercised.d. Types of Distributions. Distributions to a beneficiary may be made (i) outright to such beneficiary, (ii) to any other trust that has been created for such beneficiary or (iii) to a custodial account for such beneficiary under the applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (or equivalent legislation). The Trustee shall have the sole discretion to determine which alternative to use.8. Limitations on Powers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following limitations on powers shall apply.a. No power granted to the Trustee in this Agreement or under law shall be construed to allow the Grantor, the Trustee, or any other person to purchase, exchange, or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of the principal or income of this Trust for less than an adequate consideration in money or money's worth, or to enable the Grantor to borrow all or any part of the principal or income of the Trust, directly or indirectly, without adequate interest or security.b. No person, other than the Trustee acting in a fiduciary capacity, shall have or exercise the power to vote or direct the voting of any stock or other securities of the Trust, to control the investment(s) of the Trust either by directing investments or reinvestments, or to reacquire or exchange any property of the Trust by substituting other property.9. Protection of Beneficiary. The Beneficiary may not sell, assign, transfer, or pledge (or in any other manner dispose of or encumber) the Beneficiary's interest in any part of the Trust. The interest of the Beneficiary shall not be subject to assignment, anticipation, claims of creditors, or seizure by legal process. If the Trustee believes that the Beneficiary's interest is threatened to be diverted in any manner from the purposes of this Trust, the Trustee shall withhold the income and principal from distribution, and shall apply payment in the Trustee's discretion in such manner as the Trustee believes shall contribute to the health, education, and support of the Beneficiary. When the Trustee is satisfied that such diversion is no longer effective or threatened, the Trustee may resume the distributions of income and principal as authorized.10. Trustee Powers.
