REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST AGREEMENT
This Revocable Living Trust Agreement is made this (day) day of (month),
19(year), between (Name), of (address), City of (city), State of
(State), herein referred to as Grantor, and (name), of (address), City
of (city), State of (state), herein referred to as co-trustees.
Whereas, grantor is now the owner of the property described in Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof, and
Whereas, grantor desires to make provision for the care and management
of such property, and the collection of the income therefrom, and the
disposition of both such income and such property in the manner herein
provided:
Now, therefore, for the reasons set forth above, and in consideration of
the mutual covenants set forth herein, grantor and trustees agree as
follows:
1. Transfer of Property: Grantor, in consideration of the acceptance by
trustee of the trust herein created, hereby convey, transfer, assign,
and delivers to trustees, their successors in trust and assigns, the
property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof,
by this reference, which property, together with all other property that
may from time to time be held by trustees hereunder, is herein referred
to as Trust Estate. Grantor, and any other persons shall have the right
at any time to add property acceptable to trustees to this trust and
such property, when received and accepted by trustees, shall become part
of the trust estate.
2. Disposition of Income and Principal: Trustees shall care for and
manage the trust estate and collect the income derived therefrom, and,
after the payment of all taxes and assessments thereon and all charges
incident to the management thereof, dispose of the net income therefrom
and corpus thereof, as follows:
During the lifetime of grantor the trustees may pay income of the trust
estate and such portions of the principal as the grantor from time to
time may direct to the grantor, or otherwise as he/she directs during
his/her life. After the death of the grantor the successor trustee
shall distribute the trust estate to the following beneficiary or
beneficiaries who shall survive me: (names and addresses)
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
The share of any beneficiary who shall be under the age of (age) years
shall not be paid to such beneficiary but shall instead be held in trust
to apply to his/her use all the income thereof, and also such amounts of
the principal, even to the extent of all, as the trustee deems necessary
or suitable for the support, welfare, and education of such beneficiary;
and when he/she attains the age of (age) years, to pay him/her the
remaining principal, if any. If any beneficiary for whom a share is
held in trust should die before having received all the principal
thereof, then upon his/her death the remaining principal shall be paid
to his/her then living child or children, equally if more than one, and
in default thereof, to the then living descendants of the grantor, per
stirpes. No interest hereunder shall be transferrable or assignable by
any beneficiary, or be subject during his or her life to the claims of
his or her creditors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the trusts hereunder shall terminate not later than twenty-one (21)
years after the death of the last beneficiary name herein.
3. Revocation and Amendment: The grantor may, by signed instrument
delivered to the trustee, revoke the trusts hereunder, in whole or in
part, or amend this Agreement from time to time in any manner.
4. Successor Trustees: In the event of the death or incapacity of both
trustees, I hereby nominate and appoint as successor trustee (name) and
(address). In the event the successor trustee does not serve I appoint
whomever shall at the time be the first designated beneficiary
hereunder. The trustees and their successors shall serve without bond.
5. Trustees' Acceptance: This trust has been accepted by trustees and
will be administered in the State of (state) and its validity,
construction, and all rights thereunder shall be governed by the laws of
that state.
In Witness Whereof, grantors and trustees have executed this Agreement
on the date above written.
