A Trust is fiduciary arrangement that allows a trustee to hold assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts can be arranged in many ways and can specify exactly how and when the assets pass to the beneficiaries upon death of grantor. Some of the benefits of trust include: 1) saves time and money by avoiding probate court, 2) controls your wealth by directing where, when, and to whom the assets are to be used, 3) saves estate taxes, 4) protects your assets from creditors.
The Estate Tax is a tax one your right to transfer property at grantor’s death.
