General Types of Trusts in Houston
-
Revocable Living Trust – Allows individuals to own and control their property while alive, then transfer it to the trustee after death, while avoiding probate.
-
Irrevocable Trust – An agreement among a settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries that cannot be revoked or amended. The trustor cannot take back property they transfer to an irrevocable trust. An irrevocable trust allows the person who creates the trust to manage their assets while avoiding probate and providing asset protection from future creditors. A Houston irrevocable trust can also help reduce estate taxes for those subject to the federal estate tax. Irrevocable trusts also protect the deceased estate from the creditors of their beneficiaries.

What Is A Trust?
A trust is a way to transfer property to another party. These parties can be individuals, businesses, or even charitable organizations.
To create a trust, state law under Texas Trust Code § 112.001 provides three options. These are:
-
A property owner’s declaration that they hold the property as trustee for another.
-
A property owner’s transfer of property to another person with that person named as a trustee.
-
A property owner’s transfer upon death of property to another as a trustee.
In simpler terms, a person creates a trust when they transfer property to another to hold. A Houston Trusts lawyer can help you to better understand the basic concept of a trust.
What is the difference between a Trust and a Will?
The terms Will and Trust are sometimes used interchangeably. However, this is not correct. There are some differences between the two.
A Trust, on the other hand, is a financial instrument that allows the trustor to transfer their assets under the management of a third party, also known as the trustee. Depending on the type of trust, it may offer significant protection from creditors and other suits against the estate.
A Will is a legal document outlining an individual’s final wishes. This can include how they want their personal affairs to be handled, including burial arrangements, etc…, along with how they want their property to be distributed.
