Edit Trust & Ownership
Record trusts and intended ownership changes so the plan can organize assets and produce retitling reminders without pretending to interpret legal documents.
Trust records organize the plan but do not interpret legal authority
Add a trust name, supported type, and optional note so accounts and property can refer to the intended ownership structure. The record is descriptive. It does not prove that the trust exists, that an asset was transferred, or that a trustee has authority.
YARCalc does not read trust language, calculate trust-level tax or distributions, determine basis, evaluate estate inclusion, or choose beneficiaries. Use the executed documents and qualified legal and tax advice as the authority.
Recorded and intended ownership should expose unfinished retitling work
After recording the trust, edit the relevant account or property. Recorded legal ownership describes the current planning record; Intended legal ownership describes the desired destination. A difference can produce an Annual Action Plan reminder.
The reminder does not transfer title. Complete and verify any real change with the custodian, recorder, insurer, lender, trustee, or other responsible institution.
A trust label does not automatically change household calculations
Assets remain subject to their entered account type, value, cash-flow, and tax assumptions. Merely selecting a trust owner does not convert a taxable account, create creditor protection, change estate tax, or make funds available to another person.
Use notes for a concise planning reminder, not for passwords, complete legal documents, account numbers, or sensitive instructions. Help and support should not require those materials to explain product behavior.
Review the asset and the reminder after saving the trust
Save the trust, reopen Accounts & Holdings or Property & Housing, and confirm that the intended trust appears as an ownership choice. Then review the Annual Action Plan for any retitling reminder and verify that it names the affected asset.
Delete a trust record only after reviewing assets that refer to it. Earlier saved revisions retain their historical record, while the new one should not imply that a real-world trust was revoked or terminated.
