Free College Education Trust

This document is used to create a trust to accumulate savings for a child's college education. Gifts to the trust do not cause gift tax liability, and the trust provisions provide control over the use of the funds. Income taxes on the gifted funds are shifted from the donor to the trust and/or the child.

Use the College Education Trust document if:
  • You want to accumulate funds for the education of a child (or grandchild).
  • You want to have more control over the gifted funds than custodial account arrangements.
  • You want to shift income taxes on the savings to the trust and/or the child.
