If I am the beneficiary of a revocable living trust which is specific and only has one house in it can I assign my beneficiary rights to some one else? Also can I draw a note between myself and the person whom I am assigning the note to for the sales price and record a trust deed against the note. I live in Utah. I other words I am selling or assigning the trust which owns the house. The trustee will remain the same, only the beneficiary will change.
Yes, a remaining spouse can change beneficiaries in a revocable trust, as long as they are the trustee or have the authority to do so. Revocable trusts allow the grantor to modify the terms, including beneficiary designations, at any time during their lifetime. However, if the trust becomes irrevocable upon the death of one spouse, the remaining spouse's ability to change beneficiaries may be limited. It's essential to review the specific terms of the trust and consult with a legal professional for guidance.
The grantor has no control over the assets in an irrevocable trust. Those assets are under the control of the trustee.
You need to check the document that created the trust to find your answer. All the provisions of a trust and the powers of the trustee are set forth in that trust document. It creates a self governing entity. The trustee can only perform the functions set forth in the declaration. If the trustee has the power to sell real estate the trustee can execute a deed that conveys the property to a new owner. If there is no power in the trustee to transfer real estate explicitly recited in the trust document, then you will need to petition a court to issue a license to sell the real estate or reform the trust to include a power of sale.
like a middleman they buy stuff and sell it at a higher price to make a living
You must review the terms of the trust to determine the powers of the trustee. If you still have questions then you need to consult an attorney who specializes in trust law.On one point you seem to be confused. A decedent cannot be the owner of 99% of the property in a trust. The property is owned by the trust. The most common purpose of a trust is to remove property out of a person's estate (the grantor) so that the property bypasses probate.Once a person transfers her property to a trust, it is managed by a trustee according to the terms of the trust. A properly drafted trust has provisions that direct the distribution of property after the death of the grantor.
To properly name a revocable living trust, use your full name as the grantor followed by the words "Revocable Living Trust" and the date it was created. For example, "John Smith Revocable Living Trust, created on January 1, 2022."
A revocable living trust is very similar to a living will. The owner of money or property can determine what happens to their estate after their death.
Revocable trust includes many advantages. Revocable Trust's main advantage is the agreement provides flexibility and income to the living grantor.
A residuary trust is set forth in a Will and is non-revocable after the death of the testator. It can be amended or revoked while the testator is still living.
No. You only need to capitalize the word "trust" or "trustees" when you are referring to the specific trust. For example: As referenced in the John Doe Revocable Living Trust. John Doe, as Trustee for the John Doe Revocable Living Trust. However, if you are simply refering to the trust, you do not need to capitalize the word trust. The above-mentioned trust contains limited authority for the trustees.
In both a revocable living trust and dynasty trust, the trust assets are managed by a trustee separate and apart from your personal assets. The primary difference is that a revocable trust can be modified or even revoked by you during your lifetime. Once a dynasty trust is created it cannot be revoked or modified by the settlor of the trust.
The biggest difference between the trusts is that the Living Trust is revocable and can be changed over time. For detailed information visit: http://www.ultratrust.com/revocable-trusts-vs-irrevocable-trusts.html
Typically, a surviving spouse cannot unilaterally dissolve a revocable living trust for the purpose of disinheriting a beneficiary if the trust was set up by both spouses. However, they may be able to amend the trust if it allows for changes to beneficiaries. It is important to consult with an attorney for specific legal advice in this situation.
Yes. There are two types of trusts, living (intervivos) and testamentary. The living trust is created by a living person(called the settlor or trustor). The testamentary trust is created by the will of a deceased person. Living trusts are designated as either revocable or irrevocable depending on the authority of the settlor. If the settlor has the power to cancel or revoke the trust, it is a revocable trust. If the settlor has no power to revoke it then it is an irrevocable trust. Since the revocable/irrevocable distinction is determined by what the settlor can do while he or she is alive, the trust had to have been made during the settlor's lifetime. Hence, an irrevocable trust is a living trust. On the other hand a trust that is set forth in a person's will is revocable during the life of the testator simply by a modification of the will through a codicil. Once the testator has died that trust becomes irrevocable.
The settler is the person who creates the trust and transfers their property to the trust. More common terms are grantor and trustor.
Yes. If the trust was properly drafted property can be transferred in and out of the trust by the trustee.
Probably not. The trustee and the Trust are entirely different things.
