Trust Bank Account

A trust bank account is a type of bank account that is used to hold funds on behalf of a trust. A trust is a legal arrangement where one person (the trustee) holds and manages property or assets for the benefit of another person or persons (the beneficiaries). Trusts are commonly used for estate planning, asset protection, and to ensure that assets are distributed according to the wishes of the person who established the trust.

A trust bank account is a specific type of bank account that is set up in the name of the trust. It is used to hold any funds or assets that belong to the trust. The trustee has control over the account and is responsible for managing the funds in accordance with the terms of the trust.

A trust bank account can be used to receive income on behalf of the trust, such as rental income from a property that is held in trust. It can also be used to pay expenses related to the trust, such as property maintenance costs or professional fees. The trustee must keep accurate records of all transactions that take place in the trust bank account and provide regular reports to the beneficiaries.
