How Funding Works For Different Types Of Property

Brian Chew explains that putting property into a trust usually requires retitling the deed, whether it’s a single-family home or commercial property. For properties owned by an LLC, the deed may not change, but the LLC itself needs to be assigned to the trust. Properly handling ownership ensures the property avoids probate and the estate plan works effectively.

Why Is Naming The Trust As Beneficiary Better For Minor Children?

Brian Chew explains that naming the trust as beneficiary is often the better choice, especially for families with minor children. While naming children directly could trigger probate if they are under 18, the trust allows assets to transfer directly without court involvement. Confirming ownership and beneficiary designations with banks or insurance companies ensures proper funding and avoids probate issues.

How To Make Sure LLC Owned Property Is Properly In Your Trust

Brian Chew explains that for commercial or multifamily properties held in an LLC, the trust must own the LLC, not just the property itself. Failing to assign the LLC to the trust can leave the ownership subject to probate, creating the same issues as unfunded property. Properly assigning the LLC ensures the estate plan works as intended.

Why Naming Your Trust As Beneficiary Is Important

Brian Chew recommends making the trust the beneficiary on accounts and life insurance, especially for those with minor children. Naming the trust ensures assets go directly to the trust without going through probate, even if the children are under 18. He explains why confirming ownership and beneficiary designations with each institution is critical to proper funding.

Why Not Putting Property In A Trust Can Be Costly

Brian Chew explains that one of the biggest mistakes clients make is failing to retitle property into their trust. Even with a trust in place, unfunded property goes through probate, costing families tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and tying up assets for one to two years. Proper funding is critical to make a trust effective and protect family assets.
