The 5 by 5 Rule: What Beneficiaries Must Know
Many trust beneficiaries believe they need the trustee’s permission before receiving money from a trust. But some trusts include a provision called the 5 by 5 Rule, which may allow a beneficiary or surviving spouse to withdraw the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the trust value each year. In this video, attorney Andrew Bethel explains how the 5 and 5 Rule works, why it exists, who it may apply to, and why it is important to actually read the trust language instead of assuming the trustee has complete control.
