A quick definition of property control trust:

A Property Control Trust is a type of trust that puts rules in place to control what the beneficiaries can do with the money or property they receive. There are different types of Property Control Trusts, including ones that help people with special needs, ones that stop beneficiaries from spending all the money at once, and ones that let the trustee decide how to divide the money among the beneficiaries.

A more thorough explanation:

A Property Control Trust is a type of trust that places limitations or controls on the rights of the beneficiaries. There are different types of Property Control Trusts, including:

  • Special Needs Trusts: These trusts are designed to help individuals with special physical, emotional, or other needs. The trust can provide for their care and support without affecting their eligibility for government benefits.
  • Spendthrift Trusts: These trusts are created to prevent beneficiaries from wasting the trust principal. The trustee has control over the distribution of funds, and the beneficiary cannot access the funds directly.
  • Sprinkling Trusts: These trusts allow the trustee to decide how to distribute trust income or principal among the beneficiaries. The trustee can distribute the funds based on the needs of each beneficiary.

For example, a special needs trust can be set up for a person with a disability to provide for their care and support. The trust can pay for medical expenses, therapy, and other needs without affecting their eligibility for government benefits. A spendthrift trust can be created for a beneficiary who has a history of poor financial decisions. The trustee can control the distribution of funds to ensure that the beneficiary does not waste the money. A sprinkling trust can be established to provide for multiple beneficiaries with different needs. The trustee can distribute the funds based on each beneficiary's needs.
