A Connecticut Certificate of Trust is a legal document that is used to prove the existence of an irrevocable trust. This document serves as proof that the trust is valid and can be used to prove the trustees' authority over the trust assets. It can also be used to open bank accounts in the name of the trust and to provide evidence that the trust is exempt from certain taxes. There are two types of Connecticut Certificate of Trust: a Connecticut Certificate of Trust for a Revocable Trust and a Connecticut Certificate of Trust for an Irrevocable Trust. The Certification of Trust is prepared by a lawyer and must be signed by the trustee and notarized.
