Joint trusts are a type of living trust created by two people (usually a married couple) that allows them to combine their assets into one trust. This approach can simplify estate planning, but it also has some drawbacks that should be considered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
