When you give or bequeath money to an heir, you can do it in one of two ways: either outright or in trust. If you leave an inheritance to an heir in trust, you have a decision to make regarding when the beneficiary receives distributions, and when the trust terminates - requiring the trustee to transfer trust assets to the principal beneficiary.
There are an unlimited number of options when deciding on how distributions will be made to a trust beneficiary. You can provide for distributions or a trust termination based on a certain age, or a certain date, or in stages at different intervals.
You can provide for distributions based on the occurrence of a certain event, or completely at the trustee's discretion.
You can also provide that the trust shall last for the lifetime of the beneficiary, or you can have incentive based provisions that provide that distributions are based on the beneficiary achieving certain conditions.
You could make distributions authorized for a specific purpose, such as buying a home or starting a business. Or you could also provide that the beneficiary would get a set monthly or annual amount until the trust runs out of resources.
