Which Trust to set up?

Answered by attorney Jessica Robin Barsotti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Barbara A. Goode
Unless you have a very large estate that will subject you to inheritance tax (ie over $3 million) you may not need to set up a life insurance trust. Those are normally used to provide the proceeds of a large life insurance policy to a beneficiary and avoid estate taxes. If you do have this issue, I would consult an attorney, but in essence you should set up an irrevocable life insurance trust. A revocable trust will not provide you with the tax benefits. If you do not have this issue, you could probably just designate your child as the beneficiary of the proceeds and set up a regular revocable trust to manage the assets in the event that your child is still a minor when you pass.
