Re: Trust Bank Account?In Reply to: Trust Bank Account? posted by Jill Evans on September 26, 2001 at 6:54 AM : I was wondering if you could give me some advice as to the easiest and least expensive way to set up a bank account for a land trust I want to establish for a property. I want to pay rehab bills, etc. from the account. Me expectation (fear) is that the bank will want to establish a high-fee "trust account" which I want to avoid. Also, is a federal tax ID number (other than SS#) needed to set up such an account? : : =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=• Jill, all bank accounts require a SS# or some other federal tax ID number. The way I set the account up in the trust’s name is to bring the subject up just as I’m getting ready to leave. At that point I tell to the bank rep, “Say, let’s put a label on this account and call it the Hickory Trust so I don’t get it confused with the paperwork of my other accounts”. And I order my own checks directly from Deluxe so I get them pre-printed with the Hickory Trust name and address on each. Hope this helps.
