Is a beneficiary of a trust entitled to a complete copy of the trust agreement if one of the settlers is still alive?

What is the difference between trust lands and reservations?

Trust lands are typically owned by a tribal government and held in trust by the federal government, while reservations are areas of land set aside for Native American tribes by the federal government.

Who declares in a trust if the settlor has disability?

If the settlor doesn't have the legal capacity to declare a trust then she/he doesn't have the capacity to transfer their property to the trust. Trust law is one of the most complex areas of law and the rules vary from state to state. Errors made in the drafting of a trust can be very costly to correct if they can be corrected at all. You should consult with an attorney who is an expert in trust law and who has a good reputation.


What is a non revocable trust fund?

An irrevocable trust is one in which the settlor (or creator) of the trust does not retain any control of the trust, and thus the trust cannot be amended. The reason that an individual would chose to create an irrevocable rather than revocable trust is that the money cannot be touched by creditors or anyone else. There are also money-saving benefits to the creation of an irrevocable trust primarily relating to probate fees and taxes.

Who appoints the trustee for the irrevocable trust?

The person who creates the irrevocable trust is the one who appoints the trustee, because it is his or her trust. It is similar to the right of a person to name an executor in a will. The creator of the trust, sometimes called the settlor, has the right to choose a person he trusts (hence the name "trustee") to handle the property in the trust and to carry out the terms of the trust. In the event that the trustee(s) named in the trust instrument are unable for any reason to perform their duties, the named successor trustee will assume the duties. If no successor is named the probate court can appoint one.

Does a new living trust superseed an old living trust?

Not necessarily. Sometimes people have more than one living trust. It depends on what the new trust says and how your assets are titled. Consult an attorney.


What is an offshore trust?

The concept of a trust is an arrangement whereby property is transferred from one person (the Settlor) to another person (the Trustee) who holds the property for the benefit of specific people (the Beneficiaries). A Trust Deed sets out the terms and conditions under which the Trustees hold the trust assets. It also outlines the rights of the Beneficiaries. A trust is not dissimilar to a will except that assets are transferred to trustees during lifetime rather than assets being transferred to executors on death. The Trust Deed is comparable to the will. Those unfamiliar with the trust concept may be concerned about transferring ownership of their property to a Trustee. This concern can be alleviated if the distinction between legal and beneficial ownership is properly understood and the trust is governed by sound law enforced in a reputable jurisdiction.

Can there be more than one trustee of a trust?

Yes, a trust can have multiple trustees. Having more than one trustee can provide a checks-and-balances system, allowing them to collaborate in managing the trust's assets and making decisions. However, it’s important to clearly outline the roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes for each trustee in the trust document to avoid potential conflicts or confusion.
