What is a Trust?

A trust is a legal entity that holds property designated by your, the grantor, for the benefit of you and/or the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the individuals, charities, business or other entities that the grantor chooses to benefit from the trust. The trust is managed by a trustee that administers the trust per the trust document. Think of a trust as a basket. A trust allows you to place all or some of your assets into this basket. The assets are then used as you desire while you are living or you may choose to restrict the assets which may help you avoid some estate taxes. The assets are managed per the trust document if you become incompetent and are distributed per your request upon your death.

The three key components to a trust are the grantor, the beneficiary and the trustee. The grantor is the person that sets up the trust and decides when and by whom the assets will be used. The grantor also can place limits on the usage of the assets. The trustee is the individual or corporate trust department that carries forth the wishes of the grantor. In some trusts the grantor may also be the trustee, but upon death or incompetence the successor trustee (appointed in the trust document by the grantor) takes control.


 

DEFINITIONS

TRUST

Trust designates an arrangement under law in which property is held by one party for the benefit of another. It can involve a wide range of relationships between the trustee (individual holding assets for the benefit of another) and the beneficiary (individual receipting benefit). In a custodial, agency or financial service relationship the trustee executes instructions form the beneficiary and in an irrevocable or revocable grantor trust, guardianship, Conservatorship or managed agency trust relationship the trustee manages the assets, investments, collections and makes payments for the beneficiary under the provisions of the agreement and laws regulated by federal and state laws.

A trust is established with the contractual agreement between client, client legal counsel and the trustee. The trust relationship develops with working the provisions of the agreement for the personal and financial interest of the client.

Wyoming Bank & Trust is proud to provide trust services developed for the benefit of the client.
