Delaware Statutory Trust and Living Trust

[Ashish G.]

Hi folks,

Has anyone formed a DST to hold real estate properties and also has a Living Trust to hold the rest of assets such as bank accounts etc?

If yes, how do the DST and Living Trust connect together? Does Living Trust become a trustee of DST?

DSTs are an advanced version of statutory trust that allows investors to transfer 1031 exchange money into. They are used to attract a investors to pool money for institutional investments. A living trust is for personal use to help people to plan their estate.
