True trust creators can go beyond this minimal approach…

True trust creators can go beyond this minimal approach in a letter of wishes or letter to the trustee and beneficiaries by saying more about the trust's purposes. For example, some expressions of purpose that we have seen include: Productivity -Provide basic income for a homemaker. -Support a start-up. -Provide supplemental income for lower-paying jobs. -Provide income to support volunteering. -Support hiring a career coach. Education -Pay for tuition, housing, or meal plans. -Provide basic income for students. -Put limits on perpetual studenthood. -Family unity and continuity -Pay for family vacations. -Cover expenses for family meetings. -Hire facilitators or mediators. -Cover wedding expenses. -Support the adoption process. Legacy -Allow for charitable donations. -Pay for membership to clubs or other organizations.
