Frequently Asked Questions
What is a U.S. domestic trust?
A domestic trust is generally a trust governed and administered within the United States that satisfies applicable federal control and court-supervision tests. The correct structure depends on state law and the trust’s specific terms.
What is the difference between a revocable and irrevocable trust?
A revocable trust can generally be changed or revoked by its creator during life. An irrevocable trust generally limits that control after creation and may have different legal, tax, creditor, and administrative consequences.
Can a trust own an LLC or investment property?
In many situations, a properly structured trust may hold LLC interests, real estate, investment accounts, and other property. Ownership documents, lender requirements, tax treatment, and transfer restrictions should be reviewed before retitling assets.
Does a trust always avoid probate?
Assets properly titled in a trust may avoid probate, but assets left outside the trust may still be subject to probate. Beneficiary designations, joint ownership, state law, and the complete estate plan also matter.
Does USABA draft trusts or provide legal or tax advice?
No. USABA provides business consulting, planning support, and professional coordination. Trust instruments and specialized legal or tax advice must come from qualified independent professionals.
