When individuals are straddled with loads of debt, they often look for options to keep their personal assets away from creditors. One option that many individuals choose is a trust.

A trust has many advantages. For instance, the assets put in the trust can earn interest and can be transferred to other individuals. However, such trusts have very few advantages in hiding assets from creditors. As a result of recent changes in trust laws, creditors generally have access to some assets or income earned by the trust.
