Try to contain yourself! \u201cTodd, turn off the hockey game! Yes, I know it\u2019s 5 to 5 and in overtime, but you <strong>must<\/strong> read Chilton\u2019s article on testamentary trusts. It\u2019s captivating!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, I admit that is not a likely response to this piece. Or either of my books, for that matter. (Thought I would say that before you did.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, honestly, testamentary trusts really are quite interesting. Not riveting, but quite interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, I think they can play a very helpful role in many Canadians\u2019 estate plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is a testamentary trust?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite simply, it\u2019s a trust that is created on the day a person dies. Or, as my dad stated, it kicks in when you kick the bucket. Not surprisingly, my father has never been asked to write copy for the financial industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trust is established through the transfer of ownership of some of the deceased\u2019s assets. A designated-in-the-will trustee, could be an individual or a trust company, administers the trust according to the instructions as to how those assets are to be used for the benefit of the beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"row blockId-21db2f89-0a29-4538-9c34-37a7d5320687\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-column col-lg-6\">\n<div class=\"mb-1-half\"><a href=\"\/insights\/what-is-a-trust-the-wealthy-barber-explains\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/02\/david-chilton-wearing-blue-sweater-leaning-on-chair-in-page.jpg\" alt=\"david chilton wearing blue sweater leaning on chair\" class=\"img-fluid\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-column col-lg-6\">\n<div><h4 class=\"mb-1-half\">What is a trust?

Doesn\u2019t that sound like something only the ultra-rich would get involved with? The Thurston Howell III crowd?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must admit that I kind of thought that way myself until relatively recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What changed my mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking to a bunch of friends and colleagues about testamentary trusts while I wrote and tested a script for a video on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very illuminating conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, many families have a member who battles addiction issues. For obvious reasons, it is often unwise to leave that person his\/her inheritance directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, two of the testers said how thankful they were that their parents had left them money through a trust. They are well aware of their challenges and felt the trust very effectively protected them from themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several others shared stories about family members quickly squandering inheritances as that protection wasn\u2019t in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not just beneficiaries battling addictions that could benefit from a testamentary trust being used. What about someone who has a track record of consistently managing his or her money irresponsibly? A spendthrift or a too-aggressive risk taker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps, a beneficiary is dealing with a disability that makes financial management either impossible or incredibly stressful. A trust makes perfect sense here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feedback to the video script also provided a strong reminder about the now-high prevalence of blended families and the often-associated estate-planning complexities. Testamentary trusts are a great aid for those building a plan to tackle those issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, perhaps you want to make sure your current spouse is taken care of while also preserving a certain level of capital for your children from a first marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see why I think testamentary trusts can play a very important, a very helpful role in estate planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a tool\u2014a quite flexible tool\u2014that can help you to help the people you love. Again, to protect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re not for everyone but more people should look at them than do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See that was interesting, wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not riveting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Testamentary trusts can help you help the people you love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":3358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rbcwm_post_date":"","editor_notices":[],"rbc_url_alias":"","rbcwm_featured_desktop_image_position":"","rbcwm_featured_mobile_image_position":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[258,253,257,100,259,320,106,310,184],"rbcwm_content_owner":[609],"rbcwm_need":[83,84],"rbcwm_segment":[66],"rbcwm_solution":[99],"rbcwm_topic":[94],"rbcwm_channel":[],"rbcwm_format":[],"class_list":["post-3355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-estate-planning","tag-chilton-campaign","tag-david-chilton","tag-estate-and-trust","tag-estate-planning","tag-executor-services","tag-is-your-will-up-to-date","tag-the-wealthy-barber","tag-trusts","tag-writing-a-will","rbcwm_content_owner-royal-trust","rbcwm_need-live","rbcwm_need-protect","rbcwm_segment-individuals-and-families","rbcwm_solution-trusts","rbcwm_topic-your-wealth"],"acf":{"rbcwm_subtitle":"They are a tool\u2014a quite flexible tool\u2014that can help you to help the people you love.","rbcwm_post_author":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_text":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_link_url":"","rbcwm_disclaimers":{"add_disclosures":"","perspective_disclaimer":"","expandable":"","omit_from_pages":[],"disclaimer_footnote":"RBC Royal Trust and RBC Wealth Management are business segments of the Royal Bank of Canada.
