The Orange California General Form of Revocable Trust Agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the trust operates. It covers various aspects including asset allocation, management instructions, distribution of income and principal, and appointment of successor trustees. Importantly, this trust agreement allows the settler(s) to retain the right to modify or revoke the trust during their lifetime. Different types of Orange California General Form of Revocable Trust Agreements may include: 1. Individual Revocable Trust: This type of trust is established by an individual, usually acting alone, for the purpose of managing and distributing their assets during their lifetime and after their passing. 2. Joint Revocable Trust: When a married couple or domestic partners want to manage their assets jointly, they can establish a joint revocable trust. This trust allows both parties to act as co-trustees and retain control over their assets while providing for seamless asset management in the event of disability or death. 3. Pour-Over Will Revocable Trust: This trust is often created in conjunction with a pour-over will. It allows assets that were not explicitly transferred to the trust during the settler's lifetime to "pour over" into the trust upon their passing. The trust then distributes these assets according to the provisions outlined in the trust agreement. 4. Testamentary Revocable Trust: This type of trust is created through the settler's will and only takes effect upon their death. It provides a flexible way for individuals to control the distribution and management of their assets after they pass away.
