Generally, assets placed in a trust before the marriage remain separate property. However, any contributions made to the trust during the marriage may be subject to scrutiny by the court.
Trusts and Community Property If a trust is funded with assets accumulated during the marriage, those assets are typically considered community property, even if the trust is in the name of one spouse. This means that the assets within the trust could be divided between both spouses in a divorce.
If youre single, the two most important reasons for establishing a living trust is that it helps your beneficiaries to avoid the costs and hassles of probate and will keep your assets out of court-supervised guardianship.
Trusts established before the marriage are typically classified as separate property, while trusts created during the marriage are likely to be deemed marital property, subject to equal division.
