 * What assets should you not put in a living trust?


MORE LIKE THISInvestingEstate Planning

A living trust can help you manage and pass on a variety of assets. However,
there are a few asset types that generally shouldn’t go in a living trust,
including retirement accounts, health savings accounts, life insurance policies,
UTMA or UGMA accounts and vehicles.

Living trusts can be useful estate planning tools that give a trustee the
authority to manage assets for you and your beneficiaries while you’re alive.
Assets in a living trust typically include bank accounts, real estate, personal
property and investments such as stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies. You can
even title mineral rights or a membership interest in an LLC into a living
trust.

Here’s what you may not want to put in a living trust, why certain assets can
cause issues and what you might do with those assets instead.

WHAT ASSETS SHOULD YOU NOT PUT IN A LIVING TRUST?


RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Why not: You can technically transfer a retirement account such as a 401(k) or
Roth IRA into a living trust, but because a trust is a separate legal entity,
the transfer counts as a withdrawal from the account. Withdrawals are taxable,
meaning that moving these assets into a living trust often comes with a tax
bill. If you’re not at least 59½, you may also have to pay additional penalties
for early withdrawal.

Instead: Name the living trust as the beneficiary on the retirement account.
That way, the funds transfer directly to the trust upon your death. In the trust
documents, you can specify how the funds should be divided among your
beneficiaries.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

Why not: Health savings accounts (HSAs) allow you to pay for medical expenses
with pretax income. You contribute pretax money to the account, the investments
in the account grow tax-free and the withdrawals are not taxed if you use the
money for medical expenses. However, HSAs are individual accounts only, so they
typically cannot be transferred to trusts involving joint ownership.

Instead: Like with a retirement account, you can name your living trust as the
beneficiary of your health savings account. If you already have a primary
beneficiary, such as a spouse, you can name your trust as a secondary
beneficiary

» Learn more about the difference between HSAs and FSA


LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES

Why not: First, revocable living trusts don’t protect assets from creditors, so
all or a portion of your life insurance benefits could be reclaimed if you die
with debt. Second, if the payout from the policy is large enough and your estate
is large enough, naming a living trust as a beneficiary on a life insurance
policy could trigger federal or state-level estate taxes.

Instead: Name a person as the beneficiary for your life insurance policy or set
up an irrevocable life insurance trust for more control over the assets and to
potentially reduce your estate taxes if your estate is large enough that estate
tax applies.


UTMA AND UTGA ACCOUNTS

Why not: Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act
(UGMA) accounts are irrevocable. They make a minor child the owner of the
account, leaving the donor or a custodian to manage the funds. Living trusts are
revocable and typically managed by a trustee. Because of these differences in
ownership and permanence, UTMA and UGMA accounts can’t be transferred into a
living trust.

Instead: Keep these tools separate. You can use either a living trust or a UTMA
or UGMA account to give funds to a child, or use both separately. A living trust
can give you more control over how the assets are used; a UTMA or UGMA account
gives your child full access to all of the funds when they reach legal age.

VEHICLES

Why not: Vehicles under a certain value can bypass probate in some states,
making a living trust unnecessary to transfer them to an heir. Also, if you plan
to sell the vehicle, it can be complicated to remove it from the trust to do so.

Instead: A high-value collectible car that you think will increase in value may
actually be a good fit for a living trust, but for a regular vehicle, register
it with a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed. That way, it can go directly to a
beneficiary without going through probate.
