Joint Revocable Trusts can be a solid option when a married couple has a generally simple estate and when total assets (combined) don't meet the estate tax limit threshold, which is $11.58m in 2020. Keep in mind, though, that a Joint Revocable Living Trust, when not set up properly, may result in estate tax issues.
Though not a silver bullet for every situation, in appropriate circumstances, a Joint Revocable Living Trust ("Joint Trust") can provide a married couple with significant benefits and simplify the administration of assets upon death or incapacity.
Trustees have a duty to exercise reasonable care. Trustees have a duty to act jointly where more than one (and subject to the specific provisions of the Trust).
A revocable living trust becomes irrevocable once the sole grantor or dies or becomes mentally incapacitated. If you have a joint trust for you and your spouse, then a portion of the joint trust can become irrevocable when the first spouse dies and will become irrevocable when the last spouse dies.
In general, most experts agree that Separate Trusts can provide more asset protection. Joint Trust: Marital assets are all together in a single trust. This means there's less asset protection, because if there's ever a judgment over one of the spouses, all of the assets could end up being at risk.
If you created a revocable living trust with your spouse, you can change the whole trust or part of the trust following the his or her death. A living trust allows to you make any changes to the terms by creating amendments or by creating a new trust entirely.
A single living trust involves just one individual, while a joint living trust usually involves a married couple. Joint living trusts are commonly used to transfer assets between spouses upon one spouse's death.
In situations where both spouses want the surviving spouse to inherit all the assets, which is often the case, a joint trust can be far less complicated to set up and maintain than separate trusts, with less headaches for the surviving spouse.
What happens in this type of trust is that the trust is a joint revocable trust when both spouses are alive. When one of the spouses dies, the trust will then split into two trusts automatically. Each trust will have half the assets of the trust along with the separate property of the spouse.
But when the Trustee of a Revocable Trust dies, it is up to their Successor to settle their loved one's affairs and close the Trust. The Successor Trustee follows what the Trust lays out for all assets, property, and heirlooms, as well as any special instructions.
