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.
A trust can protect assets in divorce if established before marriage, as the trust--not the individual--owns the assets. Assets transferred into the trust prior to marriage are generally shielded from spousal claims. However, assets acquired during marriage or added later may not be protected.
Judges divide property in divorce under the principle of equitable distribution. Individuals often create trusts in an effort to shield property in the event of divorce or to protect assets from creditors. Generally, Connecticut courts do not invade trusts in dividing property in divorce.
Setting up a trust without involving your spouse can be a strategic financial decision. When it comes to the property that can be placed in a separate trust, there are various options to consider.
Although all property is potentially subject to equitable distribution, there are measures you can take to shield property you owned before you were married. These include executing a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement designating certain assets as separate property that will be exempt from equitable distribution.

In a California divorce, assets held in a living trust are subject to the states community property laws and may be divided equally between spouses if acquired during the marriage. This means the trust does not shield marital assets from division, contrary to what some might believe.
Concerned about asset division in a divorce? While most assets are considered matrimonial property, some remain protected, including: Pre-marital assets items owned before the marriage. Inheritance money or property received individually.
