    You don’t have to be wealthy to put all your assets in a trust. Everyone should do it if for no other reason than skipping probate court and taxes.

      In the US there are no estate taxes on the first $5,900,000 of assets for an individual or $13,900,000 for a married couple. They affect a tiny number of people, all wealthy.

      Where I’m at you can’t establish a trust with less than 1M in assets, and there are no tax incentives.
