A Santa Clara California Revocable Trust for Grandchildren is a legal instrument that allows individuals to transfer assets or property to their grandchildren, while maintaining control and flexibility over those assets during their lifetime. This type of trust is revocable, meaning the trust creator (known as the granter or settler) has the ability to make changes or revoke the trust if desired. In Santa Clara California, there are different types of revocable trusts that can be set up specifically for grandchildren. Some common types include: 1. General Revocable Trust for Grandchildren: This type of trust allows the granter to transfer various assets such as real estate, investments, or personal property to their grandchildren. It provides the granter with the ability to manage and control these assets during their lifetime, while specifying the distribution and management terms for their grandchildren after their passing. 2. Living Revocable Trust for Grandchildren: A living revocable trust is created during the granter's lifetime and can be modified or revoked if necessary.
