Why Create An Educational Trust?
The most common reason is control over the age at which the beneficiary receives their funds. It is a true concern for many that their minor child receives control over these funds. In an educational trust fund, the trustor may choose from language limiting access to the trust’s assets in a variety of ways. This is why creating an educational trust fund with the right TrustAttorneyOnline.com help is of the utmost importance.

Making Sense Out of Educational Trusts
It’s challenging to speak generally regarding any type of estate planning or when you should or shouldn’t establish a trust. However, due to the need for outside assistance in creating your educational trust, it is safe to say it should be significant in size. Smaller valued assets may be better placed in an educational savings plan, such as a 529.
