Expressing Intent and Choosing Wise Trustees: Selected Resources
Grantors establish trusts with the hope of enhancing their beneficiaries’ lives. But many beneficiaries believe that the resulting structures are burdensome and even a sign of mistrust.
To avoid this result, grantors need to be clear about their goals, communicate their intent effectively to trustees and beneficiaries, and choose wise trustees who understand and support those goals.
We have assembled the following collection of documents to help you navigate the range of trustee options and communicate your trust intentions. It includes a worksheet for creating a statement of wishes (also known as a letter of intent or “side letter”).
