WHICH TYPE OF TRUST IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

UMB can help you work with an attorney to create a trust and estate plan that supports your wishes and helps you meet your legacy goals.

Revocable trusts (living trust)

A living trust can be a strategic complement to your will that provides additional privacy when it comes time to distribute assets and flexibility to accommodate changes over time. We can discuss the opportunities for a living trust and whether it’s right for you.

Charitable trust

A charitable trust allows you to designate funds to the causes and organizations you care about. There are several options with tax advantages and timelines that can align with your legacy plans.

Irrevocable trusts

If you are looking for a permanent trust solution to establish plans for your beneficiaries and manage taxes, an irrevocable trust may be a good option. Our specialists are skilled in the complexities and nuances of establishing irrevocable trusts and can help you strategize as you determine your wishes.

Testamentary trust

These trusts can help you provide long-term benefits to your family, or your favorite charity. We can be appointed as your trustee to hold and manage property for the benefit of your beneficiaries

Dynasty trust¹

A dynasty trust can help you secure the financial future of generations to come with a trust that is designed to potentially last forever. You can provide for your beneficiaries for years to come while minimizing taxes. While we cannot predict what the future holds, UMB Trust Company of South Dakota can help build you a well-designed trust that can react to the changes tomorrow may bring.

Trusteed individual retirement account (IRA)²

An individual retirement trust is a unique estate planning option that combines the tax advantages of an IRA with the management and monitoring of a trust, all in one agreement.
