New Trust/Estate Client Info
A trust is a legal device that is meant to both provide for and protect beneficiaries. A trust is created when an individual donates certain property to a person or group of people. When the trust is formed, it's established for the welfare of the beneficiaries. Normally the donated property is either a useful long-term asset, such as a house where the beneficiaries could live, or income-producing assets, such as stock that issues dividends. It is a legal entity overseen by a trustee or executor, who maintains the property for the beneficiaries’ benefit.
