Document Summary

Fixed trusts are an established form of living trust for estate planning. They enable the settlor to control money and assets for the benefit of the trust"s beneficiaries. Beneficiaries of a fixed trust receive trust property on a specific schedule set forth by the settlor. The trustee of a fixed trust has little or no discretion to distribute trust property. He or she cannot change the beneficiaries or the benefits they are set to receive. The most common type of fixed interest trust is a life interest trust, under the terms of which one individual will have a right to all of the trust"s income during his or her lifetime. On this individual"s death, the trust property will generally be payable to named capital beneficiaries. Another type of fixed trust is one contingent upon the beneficiaries satisfying certain conditions, such as reaching a certain age.
