For instance, if a revocable trust has two grantors, it may still remain revocable until all these people have passed away. However, the deceased persons outstanding debts from the revocable trust do not go away, and creditors will still be entitled to the assets listed in the document.
Under typical circumstances, the surviving spouse would become the sole trustee after the death of one spouse. The surviving spouse would control the shared property, and the personal property of the deceased spouse would be distributed to the beneficiaries.
Survivors Trusts give the surviving spouse more control over their interest in the estate while sheltering more of the decedents assets from taxes.
The major difference between the two is that a marital trust is irrevocable while a survivors trust is revocable. The marital trust is designed with the idea of taking advantage of the unlimited marital deduction by ensuring that only the surviving spouse is able to receive distributions from the trust.
This type of trust not only provides a financial resource for your spouse, but it also assures that your assets are ultimately distributed ing to your wishes, and that your heirs do not incur any more estate taxes than are necessary.
