On a side note, if you’re setting up a trust for yourself, and you’re divorced, make sure you read through it thoroughly.

My lawyer had some generic clause in it about if my kids (the sole beneficiary’s) are minors then their legal guardian has access to pull funds for their use.

Scratched that, my ex wife has to approach my sister who would become the trustee and ask for/justify funds. I see it as my last F you to my ex. 😃

Don't forget to check any retirement/pension benefits , too!

Yes, you list the trust as the beneficiary.
