How does the trustee of an irrevocable trust disperse in kind assets to 3 beneficiaries?
ASSUMING that the trust calls for an EQUAL division among the three beneficiaries: Presumably the trust itself is going to contain instructions and specify how this is to be accomplished. If not, and the trust contains more than just an equally divisible amount of cash (i.e.: real property. stocks, bonds, etc) it will have to be valued in its entirety and then divided in as equal a manner as possible. This may involve liquidating all the intangible assets - turning the entire trust into cash and THEN equally dividing the proceeds of the liquidation action.
