Sleeping Trust

View a Tax Free Municipal Bond fund that can be used with your Sleeping Trust here

Note: Sleeping trusts are normally funded with modest amounts while awaiting some larger future funding event such as life insurance benefit or final estate proceeds.

A Sleeping Trust commonly makes investment selections designed to avoid tax preparation expenses by choosing investments that produce tax free income. Utilizing a tax free Municipal Bond fund will decrease the likelihood of incurring taxable income; however, there can be no guarantee that taxable income will not occur. Municipal Bond funds are not FDIC insured and may lose value. Municipal Bond funds typically have rates of return lower than other bond funds.
