There is a debate in the estate planning community regarding
how restrictive trusts should be with respect to having beneficiaries serve as
sole trustee over their trust portion.
The attorneys of Morris Law Group typically recommend that beneficiaries
should become a co-trustee at a certain age and sole trustee at a later
age. This allows the beneficiary to
learn how to manage their trust funds and gives the beneficiary time to
familiarize themselves with the roles.
While every situation is different, the age we typically
recommend that a beneficiary become a co-trustee of their trust is 25 and sole
trustee is 35. Interested in putting a
plan in place to better prepare your beneficiaries for managing their trust assets?
