Your separate property with targeted gifts to individuals who matter to you
This trust combines the independence of an individual trust with the precision of specific gifting. You maintain complete control over your separate property while documenting exactly who should receive specific items, amounts, or assets. Unlike the "Property to Children" trust which primarily leaves assets to your children, this version gives you complete flexibility to leave customized gifts to anyone—children, grandchildren, friends, charities, or any combination.
Examples of specific gifting: Leave your classic car to your nephew, $25,000 to your favorite charity, your jewelry collection to your daughter, and the residual estate divided among your three children. This trust handles complex, personalized distributions.
Direct your separate property exactly as you wish with specific targeted gifts.
Make meaningful gifts from your separate property independent of your spouse's plan.
Balance gifts to your children considering support given during life.
Your separate property distribution remains under your control alone.
Leave assets to anyone—not just children. Include friends, extended family, charities, or any combination.
