Is educating your children, grandchildren, or other important individuals in your life a priority?

Well, for many of us, the answer might be a resounding "yes."

And so, you've likely thought of ways to support the learning efforts of your loved ones, including funding their education expenses.

Now, when it comes to setting aside money for education expenses, you might think of traditional savings vehicles like a 529 plan, a Coverdell, or UTMA.

But the trouble is that once the money leaves your hands, you have no control over its use.

To be sure, while each of these vehicles has its own merit, ultimately, they have restrictions regarding the amount of control and discretion you have over the gift you make.

So then, how can you support your family's future learning while maintaining some control over how the money is used?

That's where educational trusts come into play.

You see, an educational trust is specifically tailored to ensure that your gift is used exclusively for educational purposes, from private schooling and college tuition to enriching experiences like studying abroad.

At the same time, it's more than just a savings vehicle because by establishing an educational trust, you're sending a powerful message about how crucial it is to foster intellectual understanding, opportunities, and growth in your family for generations to come.
