A Federal Tax ID number is required for an irrevocable trust. The estate of a deceased individual is also required to have a unique Federal Tax ID number. In the case of a living or revocable trust, the grantor’s social security number is used for identification, so a separate tax ID number is not required.
Creating a trust allows you to transfer wealth or assets to your beneficiaries legally, without the need for public probate. You can ensure your property and assets are distributed to your beneficiaries according to your wishes. In many cases, placing property in a trust also avoids estate taxes, increases financial privacy, and protects property from your heirs’ creditors. There are two types of trusts: revocable and irrevocable.
Choose an irrevocable trust if you want to permanently transfer assets into the trust and remove your rights of ownership. The terms of an irrevocable trust cannot be changed or canceled without the beneficiary’s permission.
