I saw this discussion on another thread.
I’m not sure that’s a great idea.
Somewhere or another, I saw an opinion by an NFA lawyer (think it was a video, and the lawyer was female.). She said that buying a trust like that is no a good idea. Sure, you can change the trustees and such, but if I understood her correctly, she said the grantor can never be really removed as long as the trust exists....
She said the danger is you sort of tie yourself to the person who created the trust in terms of liability. If something happens in their lives which has nothing at all do to with the trust (say a bad car wreck,) you could theoretically be attacked through that trust.
Anyone familiar with that perspective?
