Inter Vivos Gift Deed Trust
Inter Vivos Gift Deed Trust
Strategic Lifetime Asset Transfer with Structural Control
An Inter Vivos Gift Deed Trust is a private estate planning instrument designed to lawfully transfer property during your lifetime while preserving structure, continuity, and governance.
Unlike a traditional transfer that simply moves title from one name to another, this structure combines:
• A properly executed lifetime gift
• A recorded deed conveyance
• A trust framework for ongoing administration
• Defined beneficiary succession
The result is intentional asset placement — not accidental inheritance.
What It Does
An Inter Vivos (living) Gift Deed Trust allows you to:
-
Transfer real or titled property during your lifetime
-
Remove assets from your personal estate
-
Establish continuity of management
-
Define succession without probate
-
Create structured control over use and distribution
This is not a reactive estate tool.
It is proactive asset positioning.
