Your estate plan is entirely your decision, and you are free to leave your assets to others, such as other family members, friends, or charitable organizations, should you choose. If you do wish to leave something to your child but are concerned about their ability to manage it, a trust can be an excellent solution.
The main benefit of putting a house in a trust in Texas is to bypass the probate process. Even if you have a will, all of your assets will go through probate when you die. For married couples, placing a house in trust ensures that the surviving spouse becomes the sole owner when the other spouse dies.
Non-grantor Trusts Texas and seven other states do not tax trusts on their income. All 42 other states have varying rules regarding when a non-grantor trust must file a tax return and pay taxes.
Potential drawbacks to consider: Higher upfront costs than creating a will. Administrative work to transfer assets into the trust. Ongoing management responsibilities. No tax advantages with revocable trusts. Complexity that may not be necessary for simple estates. Need for additional documents like pour-over wills.
