Spendthrift Provision Sample Clauses

A Spendthrift Provision is a clause in a trust that protects the trust assets from being claimed by the beneficiaries' creditors. It works by restricting the beneficiary's ability to transfer or assign their interest in the trust, meaning creditors cannot access trust funds to satisfy the beneficiary's debts. This provision ensures that the trust's assets are preserved for the intended use and benefit of the beneficiary, safeguarding them from potential financial mismanagement or external claims.
