What Is a Trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement that allows you to place assets under the control of a trustee, who manages them for the benefit of chosen beneficiaries. Unlike a will, which takes effect after death, many trusts operate both during and after your lifetime.
Trusts provide a level of flexibility and control that other estate planning tools can’t match, not in the same way. They can help families avoid the time and expense of probate, protect wealth for future generations, and provide support for loved ones with special needs. In some cases, trusts also offer important tax advantages. With careful planning, a trust helps intentions to be carried out exactly as you want without leaving decisions to the courts.
Types of Trusts Commonly Used in Texas
No two families have identical needs, which is why trusts come in many forms. Let our Texas trust lawyers help you figure out which trust or trusts would work well with your overall estate plan.
Some of the most common trusts are:
- Revocable living trusts – Flexible trusts that you can change or revoke during your lifetime.
- Irrevocable trusts – Permanent trusts that may provide tax and asset protection benefits.
- Special needs trusts – Designed to support beneficiaries with disabilities without jeopardizing government benefits.
- Charitable trusts – Allow you to support charities while also receiving potential tax benefits.
- Testamentary trusts – Created within a will and activated upon death.
- Other customized trust options – Tailored solutions for blended families, business owners, or unique asset structures.
Each trust serves a different purpose. Our attorneys help you identify the right tool for your goals. Make your trust simple by coming to our firm first!
