Editing Trust (law) (section)

===Beneficiaries===
The beneficiaries are beneficial (or 'equitable') owners of the trust property. Either immediately or eventually, the beneficiaries will receive income from the trust property, or they will receive the property itself. The extent of a beneficiary's interest depends on the wording of the trust document. One beneficiary may be entitled to income (for example, interest from a bank account), whereas another may be entitled to the entirety of the trust property when they attain a specified age. The settlor has much discretion when creating the trust, subject to some limitations imposed by law.

The use of trusts as a means to inherit substantial wealth may be associated with some negative connotations; some beneficiaries who are able to live comfortably from trust proceeds without having to work a job may be jokingly referred to as "trust fund babies" (regardless of age) or "trustafarians".<ref name="martinez18">{{cite book |last1=Martinez |first1=Michael J. |title=Vault Career Guide to Private Wealth Management |date=2007 |publisher=Vault, Inc. |location=New York, New York |isbn=9781581314489 |oclc=86069641 |page=18 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cuseaZWNAvUC&q=%22trust+fund+baby%22&pg=PA18 |access-date=21 October 2020 |archive-date=15 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015160320/https://books.google.com/books?id=cuseaZWNAvUC&q=%22trust+fund+baby%22&pg=PA18 |url-status=live }}</ref>
