A Trust is an entity which owns assets for the benefit of a third person (beneficiary). Trusts can be revocable or irrevocable. An irrevocable trust is an arrangement in which the grantor departs with ownership and control of property. Usually this involves a gift of the property to the trust. The trust then stands as a separate taxable entity and pays tax on its accumulated income. Trusts typically receive a deduction for income that is distributed on a current basis.
