Trust account

Hey there! So, a trust account is like a special piggy bank that someone else holds onto for you. You can put money or important things in it, but you have to trust that the person holding onto it will keep it safe and follow some rules about how the money can be used.

Let's say you have a friend who wants to borrow some money from you. If you don't know them very well, you might not want to give them your money directly because you're not sure if they'll pay you back. But if your friend sets up a trust account, you can put your money in there instead. That way, you know that the person holding onto the trust account will give you back your money if your friend doesn't pay them back. It's like having a middleman to keep everything fair.

Now let's say you inherit some money from a grandparent, but you're not old enough to handle the money by yourself yet. Your parents could set up a trust account for you, where the money is held until you're old enough to use it responsibly. This way, your grandparents' money is kept safe and you won't accidentally spend it all on candy and toys.

Trust accounts are often used in situations where money or assets need to be managed responsibly, but the person who needs them can't do it under their own power. It's like having a guardian to make sure everything runs smoothly.
