    Your Questions Regarding Trust Services

    A trust is a relationship between the creator of the trust (the settlor); the person, institution, or corporate trustee in charge of managing the trust (the trustee); and one or more beneficiaries. The settlor transfers property to the trustee for the benefit of the beneficiaries and according to the trust agreement.

    Property such as stocks, bonds, cash, mutual funds, life insurance policies, real estate, collectibles, and art are some of the assets that can be transferred into a trust. When transferring assets into a trust, it’s important to know if the trustee will be capable of managing the assets per the trust agreement.

    Some examples are living trusts, life insurance trusts, irrevocable trusts, charitable trusts, dynasty trusts, and asset protection trusts.

    Most people should consider setting up a trust, even if they don’t need it. It’s an exceptional way to control what happens to your estate, regardless of its size. Even people of moderate means may be subject to estate taxes, which could be significantly higher than income taxes. Trusts allow you to keep your affairs private since they are not subject to probate.

    Trusts are legal mechanisms that provide a wide range of benefits catered to everyone’s asset and estate planning needs. There are many reasons to set up trusts such as managing and/or distributing assets upon your death or incapacity in the way that you envisioned and protecting the wealth you created from the beneficiaries’ creditors or from the beneficiaries themselves. Trusts are also a practical way to simplify the transfer of wealth upon death as it prevents assets held in trust from being subject to a probate process

    In general, trust services fees are detailed in the trust document. Normally they are calculated on an annual basis, according to the level of responsibility assumed by the trustee. Fees can be charged quarterly or monthly, and a portion could be tax deductible.

    Depending on the type of trust you seek to create, you should look for a trustee who has the expertise and capability to attend to its duties under the trust instrument. Capability not only refers to technical capabilities, which are very important, but also the possibility to carry out its duties for an extended period. Trustees are bound by the trust agreement and must always act in the best interest of the beneficiaries, therefore when trustees have certain discretion, they must do so impartially to avoid any conflicts of interest. This may happen if you designate a trustee who may be influenced by one of the beneficiaries or a third party. This could be avoided by choosing a corporate trustee, such as Amerant, who will most likely not be influenced by one of the beneficiaries or a third party and will loyally adhere to the trust agreement and its duties. Regarding capability, the management of the trust assets is very important and essential to reaching the goals you intended when creating the trust. Therefore, it’s recommended to seek corporate trustees who have wealth management divisions that in turn have access to in-house investment and assets management expertise and products.
