While a marital trust is typically irrevocable, a family trust can be either revocable or irrevocable.
Lack of control: As the gifting spouse, you must give up all direct control over and access to the trust assets, which can be a tough pill to swallow. Since you cannot be a trustee, you wont have any say in whether and when distributions will be made to the beneficiaries.
Marital trusts are a way to ensure your family is taken care of in the manner you see fit and leaves behind a clear plan. The other benefit is that marital trusts allow loved ones to take advantage of estate tax exemptions and defer taxes until after the surviving spouse dies.
In this scenario, the surviving spouse typically serves as the Trustee and receives income from the trust assets for the remainder of their life, and sometimes has access to the Principal as well.
While a marital trust offers many benefits, its essential to consider any limitations or drawbacks, such as loss of flexibility once established. Once established, an irrevocable trust cannot be easily altered or terminated. Estate tax exemption is limited based on the federal estate tax threshold.
