This type of trust is specifically designed for single individuals and offers various benefits, including avoiding probate, ensuring privacy, and maintaining control over assets. There are different types of Guam Revocable Living Trusts for Single Persons, namely: 1. Basic Revocable Living Trust: This is the most common type of trust established by single individuals in Guam. It allows the granter (the person creating the trust) to transfer assets into the trust, maintain control over them, and designate beneficiaries who will receive the assets upon their death. The granter can modify or revoke the trust at any time during their lifetime. 2. Pour-Over Trust: This trust is often used in conjunction with a will, allowing any assets owned outside the trust to be transferred into it upon the granter's death. The assets "pour over" into the trust, ensuring they are distributed according to the provisions set forth in the trust document. 3. Supplemental Needs Trust: Also known as a special needs trust, this type of revocable living trust is created for individuals with disabilities. It provides a means to manage and distribute assets without jeopardizing the individual's eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income. 4. IRA Inheritance Trust: This specialized trust is designed specifically for single individuals with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). It allows the IRA account to be transferred seamlessly into the trust upon the individual's passing, offering potential tax benefits for the named beneficiaries. Each type of Guam Revocable Living Trust for a Single Person serves different purposes and can be tailored to the individual's unique needs and circumstances.
