What Is a Trust?

 

A trust is a structured arrangement used to organize and manage assets according to specific instructions.

Trusts are commonly used to create a framework for how property, financial interests, or other assets are managed over time. In many cases, a trust involves three core roles: the person who establishes the trust, the person or party responsible for managing it, and the individual or individuals who receive the benefit of the arrangement.

Many families and individuals explore trust structures as part of broader planning strategies designed to support long-term organization, continuity, and oversight of assets.

Because trust structures must be established and maintained carefully, many people seek guidance before moving forward. The way a trust is structured can affect how it operates, how responsibilities are carried out, and how assets are managed over time.
