What Spendthrift Trusts Do

A spendthrift trust restricts a beneficiary’s ability to access or control trust assets, giving the trustee full authority to manage distributions. The completed guide will explain how spendthrift clauses work, how they shield assets from creditors, and how they interact with the probate process, spousal rights, and inheritance documents. It will also outline how spendthrift trusts differ from standard revocable and irrevocable trusts.

• Primary purpose — protect assets from creditors, lawsuits, and beneficiary misuse.
• Trustee authority — full control over timing, amount, and conditions of distributions.
• Common uses — beneficiaries with debt, addiction issues, financial instability, or special needs.
