Trusts and Annuities

A trust is a fund which is paid out over time. The court will appoint a trustee to make the necessary payments. Depending on the type of trust, the trustee may only make payments at certain times for health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary of the trust.

An annuity is a type of fund that pays out on a fixed schedule over time. The basic annuity guarantees a certain amount of income over time.

Trusts and annuities are valuable tools to preserve wealth from estate taxes and probate fees. Keeping trusts up to date can ensure that your family or charities are able to use the money for your intended purposes. Structuring annuities correctly can secure income for years. You can create many types of annuities and trusts. Talk to a family lawyer for more information on how to construct your trust or annuity.

  • It can protect assets for your children
  • Usually your trust avoids probate when you die so the bulk of your estate should go to the heirs instead of to taxes
  • Trusts have instructions on how to manage your assets in the event of your death or incapacity

Can I hide assets in trusts?

If you are going through a divorce, you cannot put assets into trust for the sole purpose of hiding them from your spouse. You can create a trust, but you will still have to make an equitable division of the property and assets. For example if you put the house in trust, the court might not be able to break the trust. However you will still have to give your spouse the fair share of the assets in trust.

There are so many different kinds of trust and annuities it is important to seek legal advice to find out options for your particular situation.

So sorry but my son does not like that rolex replica watches, so if we can not get the original rolex replica uk we ordered then can we have our money back. It did say they were in stock when we ordered it. My rolex replica likes the blue dial and rubber strap Royal oak offshore or the Royal oak 30th anniversary chronograph with blue dial and strap. I am afraid that my son only wants the replica watches offshore blue dial, please can I have a refund if you cannot supply this particular rolex replica sale. As rolex replica did say that you had it in stock. Or I would not order it. I was in hospital with cancer. You must have banking details of payments. If you had sent me my hublot replica sale last year I wouldn't be complaining. It isn't my fault is it. I paid in good faith. I'm not asking for a replica watches but other replica rolex. Surely you should do that.
