    Great video. One can't expect all (or even most) of the caveats to be touched upon in such a brief video; however, it's important to note that creditor and divorce protection is only applicable is the trust is not being created in anticipation of a known claim by a creditor (or a pending divorce). Obvious enough to lawyers, but not the general public that bases most of their knowledge about asset protection on movies like The Firm 🙄🤦

    • @parrbusinesslaw
      @parrbusinesslaw  2 года назад +2

      That's correct Tomas and an important point - there are stiff penalties for people who seek to avoid existing creditors or the consequences of an anticipated divorce by restructuring how they own their assets.

    How does one set up a family trust for a disabled relative when there is no relative or friend young enough to serve as trustee? I have issues with relegating decisions pertaining to my estate and wellbeing of my relative to complete strangers.

    • @tomasgonzalez4819
      @tomasgonzalez4819 2 года назад

      You should discuss this with an attorney. For argument's sake, if you have no relative or friend young enough to serve as a trustee, perhaps you've answered your own question (tough as it may be to accept). That is, you might need to look to a trust company that specializes in what you are looking for to serve as trustee. Also, what you need might actually be a special needs trust, especially if medicaid benefits are at play. Again, a sit-down with the right attorney is your best (if not your only) bet at this point. Good luck.

    • @parrbusinesslaw
      @parrbusinesslaw  2 года назад +1

      Tomas put it well - please contact a knowledgable lawyer in your area. Trusts for disabled persons is a very specialized area of planning and the consequences of handling it poorly are disastrous. Good luck

      No. It relates to those that want ensure that certain assets are managed a certain way upon their death. You don't need to be a high income earner to have one or several assets that you'd like to be maintained a certain way after you've kicked the bucket.

      @tomasgonzalez4819 Год назад +1

      @@psycheadfuzzfreak830 Depending on the level of complexity, the answer - I hate to have to say - is to reach out to an attorney. For example, a medicaid trust or special needs trust (or even certain land trusts) are not at all DIY endeavors. However, a simple revocable living trust - depending on its use - _might_ be within the abilities of a DIYer - albeit, a rather sophisticated one. That said, let's be clear, what makes a trust a _family_ trust instead of a _[fill in the blank]_ trust has to do primarily (but not only) with (a) the trust's revocability, (b) who the trustee is, and (c) the trustee's powers. Steve mentions that a family trust is also known as an inter vivos trust. I would argue against that. An inter vivos (or living) trust is nothing more than a trust (regardless of use, by the way) that is created by the settlor/grantor during his life, i.e., while he's alive; hence the name "inter vivos" i.e., Latin for "while living". That's all that means. It can be revocable or irrevocable; it can be for land or a business venture or for your family's use, as Steve points out; it can be for a family member with special needs; etc. In other words, it can be _for anything,_ including but by no means limited to a family trust. Here's my take: If the person can't afford to have an attorney do it, the person should not do it at all. There are tremendous legal consequences for creating a trust the wrong way. I'm in Florida, and I can sell you that a trust (here) will run you from as low as $2,000 to as high as $10,000. Most, however, will run you $3k-$4k. The main cost factor being complexity and specialty. For example, if you want a medicaid trust or special needs trust, that will get you very close to the $10k figure. However, if you want a run-of-the-mill living trust, then you should not have a hard time finding one for as low as $2k. I hope that was helpful. I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific about the nuts and bolts of creating a trust.

      @@psycheadfuzzfreak830 Correction: If the person is broke, he's not applicable to this discussion. This is because, by virtue of being "broke," he has no assets that would benefit from a trust. (He's also not a target for lawsuits or estate tax issues either.) So, no, the broke person is not f-. The trust is just not applicable to him... yet. Hopefully, the person will improve his financial standing, upon which the trust may then play a part.

    Can I start a trust with 100k?

    • @parrbusinesslaw
      @parrbusinesslaw  5 месяцев назад +2

      You can start a trust with $1. However, the compliance costs of establishing and maintaining a trust can be significant, and so it generally doesn't make sense to create trusts unless they are managing significant assets and there is a strong purpose for the trust. Recently, the CRA in Canada decided that all trusts, including bare trusts, need to file annual T3 trust returns, which creates an ongoing and annual compliance obligation. This can be expensive. As a result, many trustees in Canada decided to windup their trusts rather than pay all the extra fees to their accountants and lawyers.
