A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of a beneficiary, typically to control asset distribution, minimize estate taxes, or protect assets from probate. Trusts are valuable tools in estate planning and can be revocable (changeable) or irrevocable (permanent).
It may not seem like a big deal, but if your home is held in a trust and your insurance policy isn’t updated to reflect that, it could cause serious problems if you ever need to file a claim. If you’ve put your home into a trust or are planning to, reach out to your insurance agent.
