For an AB-Trust, do you need new Trust forms drawn up for the "Survivor's Trust" or "bypass Trust" after one spouse pass away ?
My parents have an "AB-Trust" in place. My dad passed away and my understanding of how AB trust works is that now two trusts would be in place - "Survivor's Trust" or "bypass Trust". What would be the mechanics of diving the trust ? Do we need to draw up new trust forms for the "survivor trusts" and/or the the "bypass Trust" or does the original "AB Trust" document stands and the important tasks would be to re-register the assets and reallocate assets between the two trusts ?
