This form is a general form of a revocable trust agreement. Trusts can be revocable or irrevocable. The revocable trust can be amended or discontinued at any time. An irrevocable trust cannot be modified or discontinued. The Oregon Revocable Trust for Minors is a legal instrument that allows parents or guardians to establish a trust for the benefit of their minor children in the state of Oregon. This trust is created during the lifetime of the granter (parent or guardian), allowing them to maintain control over the assets placed in the trust while providing for the financial well-being and management of these assets on behalf of their children. The primary objective of establishing an Oregon Revocable Trust for Minors is to ensure that the assets designated for the minors' benefit are managed effectively and utilized for their education, healthcare, general welfare, and other necessary expenses. Furthermore, this trust allows the granter to specify how and when these assets will be distributed to the beneficiaries. There are different types of Oregon Revocable Trusts for Minors that cater to varying circumstances: 1. Testamentary Trust for Minors: This trust is created through a last will and testament of the granter, which specifies the terms and conditions for managing and distributing assets for the benefit of eligible minor beneficiaries. It only becomes effective upon the granter's death. 2. Living Trust for Minors: Also known as an inter vivos trust, this type of trust is created during the granter's lifetime and can be revocable or irrevocable. It allows the granter to transfer assets into the trust, effectively removing them from the granter's personal ownership. The living trust provides a mechanism for the trust assets to be managed and distributed to the minor beneficiaries as specified by the granter. 3. Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (TMA) Trust: Although not strictly a revocable trust, the TMA trust is a custodial account established under Oregon state law. It allows minors to receive assets, including cash, securities, real estate, or other property, through a custodian until they reach the age of majority (typically 18 or 21). It is important for parents or guardians considering an Oregon Revocable Trust for Minors to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney to determine the most suitable trust structure for their unique circumstances. Properly establishing and administering this trust will help ensure that a child's financial needs are met, and their future is protected.
