By going to the effort now, and setting up your business trust or your family trust is one of the most important things you can do. A trust agreement is a document that stipulates the rules that one wants to be followed regarding property held in the trust for its beneficiaries. Common purposes for trusts include reducing the estate’s tax liability and protecting property in an estate. Your trust forms as a part of your estate and it will be connected to your last living will and testament.
