A trust can help to ensure that your assets are managed in ways that will preserve them for you and your loved ones, says Meg M. Loitz, J.D., Vice President & Trust Officer for the TCU Wealth Management Center.
Placing assets in trust for your child instead of giving them outright may be a sound way to protect the assets. The trust could even include provisions that prevent your child from assigning their trust interest to creditors.
If you are caring for a child who has special health needs, you may be able to set up a trust to provide financial assistance without jeopardizing government benefits. The assets placed in trust are used exclusively to benefit your beneficiary — even after you are no longer there to help.
A trust is a flexible financial tool that can be useful in a variety of circumstances. To find out if a trust is right for you, please contact TCU Wealth Management at (574) 245-4735, ext. 5153 or visit the Trust Team page on tcunet.com to find a team member close to you.
