What is a trust document?

A trust document is a written agreement that outlines the legal agreement between the trustor and the trustee. A trust document can also be referred to as a trust deed, trust agreement, or trust indenture. The trust document sets out the terms and conditions for a trust, such as who will benefit from the trust, how assets will be handled, and who will manage the trust. In New Hampshire, a trust document must be executed in writing and in compliance with state law. The trust document must include specific language such as how trust assets will be distributed when the trustor passes away. Additionally, the trust document must indicate the trustee’s duties, how to remove or replace a trustee, and how to resolve disputes. The trust document is an important legal document that sets out the trustor’s wishes and should be created with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
