What is the concept of a trust?
A trust is a kind of promise or guarantee or declaration given by one person called the author of the trust or the trustee to another person called the beneficiary to protect, look after or take care of certain movable or immovable property belonging to the beneficiary for a certain stipulated period of time for and on his behalf or benefit. The rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of both parties are put into writing in the form of a deed called a trust deed. The property which will be looked after or administered is called the trust property. The fund or corpus that both parties will contribute money to look after the property is called trust fund. The person/s who will be in charge of managing the trust property or trust money will be the trustees.
What is a revocable trust?
A revocable trust is similar to a living will. It is a document in which one party called the settlor or grantor can transfer or express how he would like his property to be managed, transferred or distributed to his legal heirs during his lifetime (in the case of incapacitation, mental illness, etc.) or after death. Any person can be the trustee except a minor. The people to whom the trust property/assets/money will be left to are called the beneficiaries who could be the legal heirs or successors of the settlor or even charities.
What is a pet trust?
Trust funds can be created even for pets that you may leave behind in the event of your premature or unexpected death. By drafting a pet trust, you as the owner of a pet can leave behind a certain sum of money or property to any trusted person called the trustee which will be used in the proper caregiving and managing of your pet and its expenses who is the beneficiary. All the legal rights, obligations, duties and liabilities of the trustee will be put in the written form in the pet trust deed.
