In Pennsylvania, a trust document itself is generally not a public record. Trusts are typically private agreements, and their terms do not need to be filed with the court. However, if the trust becomes part of a probate proceeding (for example, if it involves the estate of a deceased person), certain aspects of the trust may become public through court filings.
It’s important to note that while the trust document remains private, the assets held in the trust and any actions related to the trust may be subject to scrutiny if they involve legal proceedings. If you have specific concerns about a trust, its implications, or whether a Trust may be right for you, please give our office a call!
