Setting up trusts for children is important because it allows you to provide for their financial future while maintaining control over the distribution of assets, ensuring they are used for their benefit. What to Consider When Setting Up Trusts for Children actec.org resource-center video what-t actec.org resource-center video what-t
Irrevocable trusts offer the most asset protection for your child since you relinquish ownership of the assets once transferred into the trust. This protects trust assets from lawsuits, creditors, and divorce. However, you lose flexibility since the terms cant be changed once established.
If you want to pass your property to your kids after you pass away, Sullivan says its generally better to do so through a revocable living trust, which allows you to name children as successor trustees allowing for continuity of property management.
A special rule also applies in the case of a discretionary will trust so that there will be no IHT exit charge on distributions within two years of the settlors death. Instead its treated for IHT as having been made by the deceased at the time of their death.
The basic options are a 529 plan which is specifically for education, or a brokerage account. The latter can be either in your name OR with you as a custodian and the child as beneficiary. There are different rules for both, but similar results can be achieved.
