Cuando escuchas la palabra “fideicomiso”, es probable que las frases como “fondo fiduciario” sean las primeras en venir a tu mente. Esto podría llevarte a pensar que los fideicomisos son solo para los ricos y famosos, pero nada podría estar más lejos de la realidad.
Cualquiera puede beneficiarse de establecer un fideicomiso, especialmente en lo que respecta a la planificación patrimonial. Si es posible, habla con los miembros mayores de tu familia sobre la creación de fideicomisos, ya que estos pueden ofrecer más ventajas que otras herramientas de planificación patrimonial. Descubre todo lo que necesitas saber sobre los fideicomisos a continuación.
Un fideicomiso, también conocido como cuenta fiduciaria o fondo fiduciario, es un acuerdo legal que una persona puede establecer para garantizar que ciertos activos sean heredados por los beneficiarios que ha elegido. Un fideicomiso típico incluye tres partes clave:
Aunque todos los fideicomisos tienen propósitos similares, no siempre funcionan de la misma manera. Es importante conocer los diferentes tipos de fideicomisos disponibles para elegir el que ofrezca los beneficios que necesitas.
Fideicomiso testamentario: Este tipo de fideicomiso se basa en los términos establecidos en el testamento de una persona y no recibe financiamiento hasta que la persona fallece. Es una herramienta útil en la planificación patrimonial para ti o para un miembro mayor de tu familia
Fideicomisos de anualidades retenidas por el otorgante (GRAT): Estos fideicomisos son efectivos para quienes desean utilizarlos con fines de planificación patrimonial. Permiten congelar el valor de los activos colocados en el fideicomiso y reducir el impacto del incremento del valor de los activos en los impuestos sobre el patrimonio.Cada tipo de fideicomiso está diseñado para cumplir con objetivos específicos, por lo que es fundamental evaluar tus necesidades antes de seleccionar uno.
Varios otros tipos de fideicomisos incluyen:
Incluso existen fideicomisos de salto generacional, que los abuelos pueden usar para transferir activos a sus nietos o a cualquier persona con al menos 37.5 años menos que ellos.
Además de comprender los diferentes tipos de fideicomisos, es importante saber qué distingue un fideicomiso revocable de uno irrevocable. Ambos pueden ser útiles durante el proceso de planificación patrimonial, aunque de maneras diferentes.
Fideicomiso revocable: También conocido como fideicomiso en vida, es aquel que el otorgante crea y puede modificar a lo largo de su vida. Una persona puede ajustar qué activos mantiene en un fideicomiso revocable y quién será el propietario de ellos hasta sus últimos días. Los activos en un fideicomiso revocable pueden ayudar a los beneficiarios a evitar el proceso de sucesión habitual.
Fideicomiso irrevocable: Es un fideicomiso que, una vez creado y financiado, se vuelve permanente. Ofrece mucha menos flexibilidad que un fideicomiso revocable, pero minimiza los impuestos sobre el patrimonio, ya que los activos colocados en él pertenecerán al fideicomiso y no al otorgante.
Un profesional en planificación patrimonial puede ayudar a una persona a decidir si un fideicomiso revocable o irrevocable es la mejor opción según sus circunstancias.
Establecer un fideicomiso puede ofrecer una larga lista de beneficios. Aquí hay algunas ventajas importantes de utilizar un fideicomiso:
Crear un fideicomiso no siempre será rentable para todos, pero es una opción que vale la pena explorar al participar en la planificación patrimonial.
Antes de establecer un fideicomiso, encuentra un profesional en planificación patrimonial en quien puedas confiar para que te asista. Luego, sigue estos pasos para darle vida a tu fideicomiso:
Formar un fideicomiso puede brindar tranquilidad tanto a una persona mayor como a los miembros de su familia. Considera la posibilidad de crear uno para ti o para un familiar y descubre cómo puede ser de ayuda.
Si un ser querido fallece sin un fideicomiso o, peor aún, sin un testamento, el proceso de sucesión puede prolongarse considerablemente. Esto puede impedirte acceder a la herencia que dejaron para ti.
