Quora Answer: Can a Corporation be the Beneficiary of a Living Trust?

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Can a corporation be the beneficiary of a living trust?

A corporation can be a beneficiary of a trust.  Any legal or natural person may be the beneficiary of a trust.  Corporate beneficiaries are used, in some places, as part of tax planning, family wealth management, and to separate different categories of assets.  This arrangement is also useful for hiding the origin of funds, and launder money, especially if the trust is a blind trust, or there is an arrangement for the trust to receive its funds from another trust.
