 Exploring the Types of Trusts Available in California

California offers a variety of Trusts, each designed to meet different estate planning goals and needs. We’ll explore a few common types:

  • Revocable Trusts: Revocable Trusts are can be amended or revoked as your life circumstances change. This type is ideal for those seeking control over their assets while avoiding the probate process.
  • Irrevocable Trusts: Once established, irrevocable Trusts cannot be easily changed with few exceptions. They offer strong protection for your assets and can provide tax benefits, helping to shield your estate from substantial taxes.
  • Charitable Trusts: Charitable Trusts combine philanthropy with estate planning. They allow you to support charitable causes while potentially gaining tax advantages. They reflect a commitment to community and personal legacy.
  • Special Needs Trusts: Explicitly designed for beneficiaries with disabilities, these Trusts ensure that loved ones are provided for without risking their eligibility for government assistance.
  • Testamentary Trusts: These Trusts are incorporated into your will and take effect upon your passing, directing the distribution of your assets according to your wishes. They provide a structured approach to asset distribution but do require probate.
