The document is a Last Will and Testament outlining the distribution of the testator's estate upon their death. It specifies the appointment of an executor, provisions for debts and taxes, bequests to the spouse and children, and the establishment of a family trust for managing assets. The will includes detailed instructions on how personal property, real estate, and trust assets should be handled, as well as guidelines for the trustee's discretion in distributing funds to beneficiaries. It also addresses scenarios such as simultaneous death with the spouse and allows for disclaimers by beneficiaries.

Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the maximum amount for a credit shelter trust?

When you pass away, the Trustee you have named in the Credit Shelter Trust funds the Trust. This can include any amount up to the lifetime federal estate tax limits (as of 2021, that threshold was raised to $11.7m per person or $23.4m per couple - up from the 2020 limit of $11.58m and $23.16m, respectively).

What are the disadvantages of a credit shelter trust?

One of the disadvantages of a credit shelter trust is that it does not give the surviving spouse immediate access or full control over the trust assets. Instead, the spouse can generally receive income from the trust and may be allowed to use the trust principal to pay for health, education, and maintenance as needed.

What happens to a credit shelter trust after death?

When the surviving spouse dies, any remaining principal can be distributed to children or remain in trust for their benefit, as you direct. Even though the surviving spouse has access to income (and principal, if needed), the assets in the credit shelter trust are not considered part of the survivors taxable estate.

What are the disadvantages of a marital trust?

One such drawback is their irrevocable nature; once established, the terms are generally set and cannot be easily altered. The surviving spouses estate may also be subject to increased estate taxes upon their death, depending on the trusts structure and the value of the assets.

Are credit shelter trusts irrevocable?

This trust is irrevocable and will pass to beneficiaries other than the surviving spouse (usually their children). The surviving spouse must follow the trusts plan without overly benefiting from its operation, but this trust often passes income to the surviving spouse to live on for the rest of their life.

Does a will override a trust after death?

In California, a trust often supersedes a will if a person has created both documents. A trust takes effect immediately, while the trustee is still alive, whereas a will only takes effect after the death of the executor. The trust is a separate legal entity that owns all assets that have been transferred into it.
