When assets are transferred to a trust, it is important to clearly document the disposition of the assets. This documentation will help to ensure that the trust is properly administered and that the assets are properly accounted for.

The following information should be included in the documentation:

• The name of the trust
• The date of the transfer
• The identity of the transferor
• The identity of the beneficiary
• A description of the assets being transferred
• The value of the assets being transferred
• The reason for the transfer

The documentation should be signed by the transferor and the trustee. It should also be kept in a safe place where it can be easily accessed by the trustee and the beneficiaries.

When an asset is settled on a trust and the asset is transferred directly to a company owned by the trust, it is important to document the transaction in a way that clearly shows that the asset is now owned by the trust. This documentation will help to ensure that the asset is properly accounted for and that the trust is properly administered.

The following information should be included in the documentation:

• The name of the trust
• The date of the transfer
• The identity of the transferor
• The identity of the beneficiary
• A description of the asset being transferred
• The value of the asset being transferred
• The reason for the transfer
• The name of the company owned by the trust
• The date the asset was transferred to the company
• The value of the asset at the time of the transfer

In addition to the documentation, it is also important to keep track of the assets in the trust. This can be done by creating a trust asset register. The trust asset register should list all of the assets in the trust, their value, and the date they were added to the trust.

The trust asset register should be updated whenever an asset is added to or removed from the trust. This will help to ensure that the trustee always has an accurate record of the assets in the trust.

By clearly documenting dispositions to a trust and keeping track of the assets in the trust, you can help to ensure that the trust is properly administered and that the assets are properly accounted for.

Here are some additional tips for clearly documenting dispositions to a trust:

• Use clear and concise language.
• Avoid jargon and technical terms.
• Be specific about the assets being transferred.
• Include the value of the assets being transferred.
• State the reason for the transfer.
• Get the signatures of the transferor and the trustee (if to a company then also the representative of the company owned by the trust).
• Keep the documentation in a safe place.
