What is a private annuity trust?
A private annuity trust is a type of trust established in Washington that allows the donor (the person creating the trust) to provide an income to one or more beneficiaries. The donor puts assets into the trust, and these assets are managed by a trustee, who then distributes the income generated by the assets to the beneficiaries. The donor can determine the amount of income to be distributed and can set conditions for when and how it is distributed. In addition, the trust can be used to pass the assets to the beneficiaries upon the donor’s death, thereby bypassing the probate process. This type of trust provides for the continuing care of a loved one, or for someone who is unable to manage their own finances, and also provides a tax advantage for the donor. Private annuity trusts are also beneficial for preserving assets for future generations, and for providing financial support for charitable purposes.
