To properly execute the trust you must sign it in front of a public notary. The notary should also stamp or sign off on your trust as well.
Now while you are it, you should also sign the trust in front of a witness and this person cannot be a beneficiary in case that a legal argument arises. After the trust is executed then bang! You have officially established a trust fund.

  • @LYFEAccounting

    Hey Bree, so it would depend on if there were any realized gains on the assets within the trust. For example, if there was $100,000 cash in a trust fund and that money was already taxed, then there would be no need for the beneficiary to pay taxes. But if there were $100,000 of stocks in the trust fund and that appreciated to $120,000 before it was distributed then you would need to pay taxes on the $20,000 amount. Does that make sense? I may do a video on this too. And I love that joke hah, I might use it in the next video! .
