If shielding assets from creditors is a concern, separate trusts usually offer greater protection. With a joint trust, if a creditor obtains a judgment against one spouse, all of the trust assets may be at risk.
Often a revocable living trust would be filed as a separate trust by each person in the marriage, but in some cases a joint trust is a better option. If the couple is comfortable with the couple owning all assets jointly and the surviving spouse inheriting all the assets, a joint trust may be the way to go.
Simple Living Trusts for Married Couples Simple living trusts are often considered the easiest kinds of trusts to set up and keep. In a simple living trust, a couple can share the control and benefits of the trust while they are living.
