How Do Spendthrift Trusts Work? 

Spendthrift trusts can be a type of irrevocable trust made while the grantor (the trust’s creator) is still alive. A spendthrift trust can also be established inside a revocable trust to take effect at the time of the grantor’s death. A spendthrift provision is what makes a trust a spendthrift trust. The provision states that the beneficiary receives their funds or assets incrementally rather than all at once. The grantor determines the amounts distributed and the intervals at which they are distributed. 

Why Should You Establish Spendthrift Trusts in Boca Raton? 

There are several reasons individuals choose to establish spendthrift trusts in Boca Raton, but two reasons are the most attractive: protection from bad spending and creditors. 

Protect the Spendthrift Heir From Bad Spending

Use a spendthrift trust to protect your heir from themselves. The strictly structured increments of asset distributions require the heir to slow down and use the inheritance as a regular income rather than a lump sum. 

Protect Beneficiaries From Creditors

The beneficiary has no ownership over assets in the trust, so creditors cannot collect on those assets. This makes the spendthrift trust excellent for when you want to leave an inheritance for someone with outstanding debts. The beneficiary cannot use the trust as collateral to take on new debt, which further makes this trust a tool that protects heirs from poor financial choices.
