FAQ

Some trusts require trustees to make mandatory distributions. These distributions might take place every month or every year. Often, a trust requires distribution of a percentage of the interest earned on trust assets during the year. Or the trust might list a specific amount of money or property to be distributed.

According to California Probate Code §16000, trustees have a legal obligation to follow the instructions outlined in the trust instrument when administering the trust. As part of this duty, trustees must distribute money and other assets to beneficiaries according to the directives of the trust document.

A simple trust must distribute all its income currently. Generally, it cannot accumulate income, distribute out of corpus, or pay money for charitable purposes. If a trust distributes corpus during a year, as in the year it terminates, the trust becomes a complex trust for that year.

Planning Tip: If a trust permits accumulation of income and the trust does not distribute it, the trust pays tax on the income.

Transferring property out of a trust can be simple or nearly impossible, depending on which kind of trust you formed. Typically, you act as the trustee if you form a revocable trust. You retain control of the property you place into it. You can sell it or move it back out of the trust as you see fit.

Therefore, when distributing to another trust, it is necessary to ensure that the trust is listed as a beneficiary in the trust deed. Just because both trusts have the same beneficiaries listed in their trust deeds does not mean that the trustees of both trusts may make distributions between the two trusts.

The trust must pay taxes on any interest income it holds and does not distribute past year-end. The interest income the trust distributes is taxable for the beneficiary who receives it. The amount distributed to the beneficiary is considered to be from the current-year income first, then from the accumulated principal.

When considering who to distribute the income of a family trust to, it must be noted that all income of a family trust must be distributed to beneficiaries each financial year (or else it is taxed at the top marginal rate).

Under Section 663(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, any distribution by an estate or trust within the first 65 days of the tax year can be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding tax year.

Husbands and wives can sometimes act as trustees for each other's trusts. You should appoint two or more trustees in case one becomes incapacitated, and name a successor who will take over if a trustee dies.
