A descendant’s trust is incorporated into a Will or Trust and is the preferred way to leave assets to children of any age. Such trusts can be drafted to protect the beneficiary from creditors and divorce. The trust can allow the beneficiary to be his or her own trustee or name a trustee to manage the assets on behalf of the beneficiary. If drafted properly, the assets left in the trust at the child’s death will also pass tax free to their own children. This same method applies to any beneficiary.
