What happens to a credit shelter trust when the surviving spouse dies?

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.

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 is the difference between a credit shelter trust and a marital trust?

Credit Shelter Trust vs Marital Trust - Is a Marital Trust the Same as a Credit Shelter Trust? No. A Marital Trust is a type of Credit Shelter Trust. You and your spouse can use a Marital Trust to pass assets to a surviving spouse, children or grandchildren.
