This form is a living trust form prepared for your state. A living trust is a trust established during a person's lifetime in which a person's assets and property are placed within the trust, usually for the purpose of estate planning. The trust then owns and manages the property held by the trust through a trustee for the benefit of named beneficiary, usually the creator of the trust (settlor). The settlor, trustee and beneficiary may all be the same person. In this way, a person may set up a trust with his or her own assets and maintain complete control and management of the assets by acting as his or her own trustee. Upon the death of the person who created the trust, the property of the trust does not go through probate proceedings, but rather passes according to provisions of the trust as set up by the creator of the trust.
The King Washington Living Trust is a legal instrument designed specifically for married couples residing in the state of Washington who wish to protect their assets and provide for their minor and/or adult children. This trust provides several key benefits, including avoiding probate, preserving privacy, managing assets during incapacity, and ensuring seamless asset distribution upon the death of both spouses. 1. King Washington Living Trust for Husband and Wife with Minor Children: This type of living trust is tailored for couples who have children below the age of 18. It allows the parents to designate a trusted individual or institution as a successor trustee, who will manage the assets on behalf of the children until they reach adulthood. Special provisions can be included to ensure adequate financial support, education, and healthcare for the minors. 2. King Washington Living Trust for Husband and Wife with Adult Children: For couples with adult children, this type of living trust provides a different set of considerations. While probate avoidance and asset management remain essential, the trust can be structured to accommodate the differing financial needs and responsibilities of adult children. It may include provisions for asset distribution, charitable giving, and even minimizing estate taxes for wealthier families. In both cases, the King Washington Living Trust allows the spouses to maintain control and flexibility over their assets during their lifetimes while providing for the secure transfer of wealth to their children. It is worth noting that establishing such a trust requires the assistance of an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure legal compliance and to tailor the trust to the specific needs of each family.The King Washington Living Trust is a legal instrument designed specifically for married couples residing in the state of Washington who wish to protect their assets and provide for their minor and/or adult children.
