This is a revocable trust created by an unmarried grantor. The grantor is the beneficiary of the trust while living, and may receive all of the trust income and principal in the grantor’s discretion. Upon the grantor’s death, one of the grantor’s children is the outright beneficiary of the trust property. If that child is not then living, the child’s issue are the successor beneficiaries, each receiving a separate share of the trust property. If a grandchild has attained age 35, the grandchild’s share passes outright. If not, the property is held in further trust with income and principal payable to the trust beneficiary in the discretion of the trustee. When the beneficiary attains age 25, one-third of the beneficiary’s share is paid to the beneficiary. When the beneficiary attains age 30, one-half of the balance of the beneficiary’s share is paid to the beneficiary. The trust terminates when the beneficiary attains age 35. If further successor beneficiaries are needed, the other children of the grantor are named as such successors.
This trust may be used where the grantor wishes to create separate interests for different children (perhaps other children received lifetime gifts or other benefits); or to reward a caregiver child for services performed. It may also be modified to be used for a single child of the grantor by eliminating the references in Article IV B to any other children of the grantor.
