Description

This is a form of a memorandum giving notice that Grantors have and will assign, convey, and transfer to the Trustees of a named Trust certain real property, including mineral, royalty, and leasehold interests, which Grantors own. A Memorandum of Trust Agreement, often referred to as a Trust Memorandum or Trust Certificate, is a legal document used in Ohio to establish a trust and outline its essential details. This agreement acts as condensed version of the trust document, providing an overview of the trust's key provisions while keeping the full details private. The Ohio Memorandum of Trust Agreement serves multiple purposes, including simplifying the administration of the trust, promoting transparency, and protecting the privacy of the settler (the individual creating the trust). By drafting a Memorandum of Trust, the settler can maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information while still providing necessary information to interested parties. Key provisions typically included in an Ohio Memorandum of Trust Agreement may vary depending on the trust's purpose and terms, but generally cover the following: 1. Trust Identification: This section contains the trust's official name, date of establishment, and identification numbers. 2. Trustee Information: The Memorandum lists the name, address, and contact details of the appointed trustee(s) responsible for managing the assets held within the trust. 3. Successor Trustee(s): In case the initial trustee is unable or unwilling to fulfill their duties, the document designates one or more successor trustees to take over. Their names and contact information are specified. 4. Beneficiary Information: The agreement outlines the names and addresses of the beneficiaries entitled to receive distributions or benefits from the trust. 5. Trust Powers: This section may enumerate the trustee's powers and limitations to ensure they act within the predetermined boundaries when managing the trust's assets. 6. Distribution of Assets: The Memorandum may describe in general terms how the trust's assets are to be distributed among the beneficiaries, such as the timing, criteria, and conditions for distributions. 7. Trust Termination: If the trust has an expiration date or certain conditions for termination, the Memorandum defines those circumstances in detail. 8. Legal Governing Jurisdiction: This segment identifies Ohio as the applicable jurisdiction for the trust, ensuring all legal matters will be handled under Ohio state laws. It's worth noting that Ohio law does not specifically recognize different types of Memoranda of Trust Agreements. However, the content and provisions included within the agreement can vary depending on the particular type of trust being formed, such as a revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, charitable trust, special needs trust, or spendthrift trust. Regardless of the trust type, an Ohio Memorandum of Trust Agreement streamlines the overall trust administration, promotes transparency among involved parties, and safeguards the privacy of the settler's confidential information.
