Benefits of a Joint TrustSimplicity and Equality A joint trust establishes a structure in which either spouse would inherit the combined marital assets in the event of the other spouses passing. If appropriate for the couple, this type of trust can be less complex to set up and administer than separate trusts.
WILL A LIVING TRUST AVOID PROBATE? Yes, but under current Connecticut law, not entirely. If assets are properly placed in trust before death, the living trust bypasses probate as no proceedings are now necessary to pass title on death.
What are the cons of joint trusts? Primarily, the lack of flexibility in a joint trust can be a problem, especially if the two spouses dont agree about who should ultimately be a beneficiary or how much they should receive.
Joint trusts are the best trusts for married couples who are very stable and secure in their future plans. This couple will most likely be the joint co-trustees of their assets and enjoy a great deal of flexibility over the trust while they are alive.
If shielding assets from creditors is a concern, separate trusts usually offer greater protection. With a joint trust, if a creditor obtains a judgment against one spouse, all trust assets may be at risk. A spouses trust is generally protected from the other spouses creditors.
