Trust Language: Definitions Revocable Trusts: Family trusts which do eliminate probate, protect
[from federal estate taxes] up to a $750,000 for a single person or
a $1.5 million estate for a married couple. All income is reported on
the 1040 form so that there are no tax benefits while you are living.
It is essentially a death plan document or 'super will' which has many
advantages over an ordinary will. Irrevocable Trusts: Trusts which have their own EIN numbers, file their own tax returns and separate all assets from a family's estate for planning purposes. There are many benefits to the beneficiaries while they are still living. The main disadvantage is finding an unrelated trustee in whom the beneficiaries have enough trust and confidence because the specified assets are under the control of that unrelated trustee. The IRS defines certain irrevocable trusts as follows: Simple Trusts: Trusts which distribute all funds to beneficiaries annually thus passing on all tax liability. Complex Trusts: Trusts which do not distribute all funds to beneficiaries annually and may accumulate funds for retirement, medical services and education. Children's Trusts: May be established simply as an educational trust based on Section 170 of Title 26, the IRC Code or under Sections 2503 (b) or ©) of the code. In any case the primary purpose is to defer taxes from family income to this trust until it is disbursed to the designated individual. Blind Trust: Established by the "Ethics in Government Act of 1978" which basically provides a tool and, in some cases actually requires, politicians elected to office to create "Blind Trusts" to hold their assets so that it will appear that there is no "conflict of interest" in the decision making process of Congress. The I.R.S. names other trusts according to the specific purposes designed in each trust. A few of such trusts are the Mesabi Trust, the Chappell trusts, the rabbi trust. These are statutory trusts and must establish the rules set forth by the I.R.S. Government Trusts: A list of trusts created by the United States Government can be found in Chapter 98 of Title 26, the Internal Revenue Code book.
