You must create multiple Certificates, Stubs, and Confirmation Minutes for all of the
Beneficiaries.
**THE UNITS MUST EQUAL 100. PAY ATTENTION!!**

You will encounter different sample names throughout the documents. Below is what they are
and how they apply:

**also can be just the Grantor & Beneficiary if you have other Trustees
Somebody-Else: Too – Trustee and Beneficiary
**can just be Trustee if you assign other Beneficiaries
Third-Person: Maybe – Trustee and Beneficiary (Only 2 trustees are required.)
Beneficiary-Name: Here – Beneficiary, appears in several of the Trust Minutes
Successor-Trustee: Name – If nominated, this is who succeeds a Trustee in one of the Minutes.
Succeeding-Beneficiary: Name – If nominated, this is the individual to receive equitable
ownership.

required to do anything unless called upon. Just have someone sign.

--PRIVACY OF THE TRUST--


Do NOT register the Trust anywhere. It is Private! The only portions of the Trust that may be
publicized are the Declaration of Trust, the Trust Indentures, and the Declaration and
Certification of Trust.

Only present Notice of the existence of it using the Declaration of Trust and Declaration and
Certification of Trust as needed. The Trust Minutes are completely Private and shall NOT be
publicized in any manner unless you agree to do so, charging an appropriate fee of your choice
for seeing the activities of your Private Trust.

When you need to show evidence that your Trust exists, present the two Notarized documents
but do not allow the other party to make copies. If they try to give you a hard time, just ask them
for a warrant because the Trust is protected by the Fourth Amendment.

--EDITING NOTES--
Remove all highlights from the text. They are highlighted for you to know where to make your
edits.
Do not break the format. Make sure the title on top of the pages is neatly where it should be.
The notary brackets should sit properly one on top of the other as you see before you. This
document set was created for you so as to make things easy.
The Trust Minutes have meeting numbers. Make sure you number them correctly as you use
them!

--POSSIBILITIES FOR THE TRUST--


There is one Grantor. There must be at least two Trustees, but there are tons of options as
mentioned above. Two Trustees can be both the Trustees and Beneficiaries. It depends on your
discretion.

As you read these documents, it will become clear to you how many uses there are for this Trust.
Study them and you will see that your imagination on how to handle your own affairs is truly
only limited by your ability to self-govern. Remaining within the general law (the Common
Law) is your limitation. You write your own law and contracts when you adhere to these simple
principles.

Good luck!
