What happens to my trust after my divorce?

Usually, trusts are established by a parent or grandparent for a child or grandchild to become beneficiary of their assets once that member has passed away. Depending on the circumstances under which the trust was created, the courts could consider it marital property in your divorce. When the courts consider a trust marital property, it becomes subject to division. In order to determine if the trust is eligible for division, the courts will examine several factors regarding the creation of the trust.

The courts will examine:

  • Who created the trust
  • When was the trust established
  • How was trust is funded
  • What kind of trust it is
