No. That would result in penalties. A 401K is an individual's retirement account. Once ownership is transferred to a trust it no longer belongs to the individual.

What is the benefit of placing term life insurance in a irrevocable trust?

The grantors of an irrevocable trust can take out life insurance on themselves and put it (term or whole life insurance) in the trust in order to pay the estate taxes on their estate assets when they die. This allows the grantor (giver of assets) to leave his estate assets to his children or someone else (beneficiaries) without them having to pay estate tax, or death tax as some call it.

Can the funds in an Irrevocable Trust be garnished?

The short answer is NO, no way, no how, not a chance. The long answer is how long ago was the irrevocable trust fund set up? And did the person setting it up know a lawsuit was on the way? In other words, does it look to a judge that money was purposely put in an irrevocable trust fund in order to avoid garnishment? If it was set up 12 or more months ago, it's as safe as money can be. If the whole thing looks suspicious, a judge could garnish but this almost NEVER EVER happens. There is one other issue, is it child support that would be the garnish? If so, I think a judge might ignore the fact that it's irrevocable. The courts always put an innocent child first so if it's unpaid support, it could be at risk. I have a few different irrevocable funds left by my dad. I was able to change the trustee (the person in charge of distributing the $$ in the fund to me because I was a minor) on one of them but only because that person agreed to step down. He was in prison for the felony of embezzling money..... FROM ME, and I still needed him to step down.


When saving for retirement, what is better, a 401k or a ROTH ira?

It is better to do a 401K if your company will match any money that you put in. Put in only what they will match and put the rest in a Roth ira for the best outcome.


What are the differences between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k in terms of after-tax contributions and withdrawals?

The main difference between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k is how they are taxed. In a traditional 401k, contributions are made with pre-tax money, meaning you don't pay taxes on the money you put in, but you pay taxes on withdrawals in retirement. In a Roth 401k, contributions are made with after-tax money, so you pay taxes on the money you put in, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.

Can the HOA put a lien on an irrevocable trust property?

It is unlikely that an irrevocable trust gives the property any immunity from liens.AnswerYes. If the property is owned by an irrevocable trust the HOA can place a lien against the property and the trust. The HOA should research the trust so that the present trustees can be mentioned on the lien. Although debts are sometimes difficult to collect from a trust, the property cannot be sold or mortgaged unless the lien is paid.


Can you put a roth IRA or regular IRA into a' irrevocable trust'?

Yes, you can place a Roth IRA or a traditional IRA into an irrevocable trust, but doing so can have significant tax implications. When an IRA is transferred to an irrevocable trust, it may trigger a taxable event, and the trust would then be responsible for the tax obligations. Additionally, the trust must be structured properly to ensure that the required minimum distributions (RMDs) are handled correctly. It's advisable to consult with a financial advisor or attorney to navigate the complexities of such a move.

Should I ever trust my long distance boyfriend of 3 years again after discovering from his phone texts that he has gone out with 2 other women in the past month?

If he has cheated on you, I don't think you should really trust him. If you really love him and trust him with all your heart then keep on dating him. But still, if I were you, I would face chat or call him asking him for the truth. If he keeps on stuttering and saying um and er, don't believe him. He put me on his 401k and has stuff stored in my garage.
