I am confused. Until the trust benefits vest in the beneficiary [and the trust terminates], teh benefilciary does not pay any of the costs, the trust does.If the trust has ended, then the assets are already in the beneficaries hands and if he/she can not pay for the upkeep of the items received they are taken over by the creditors, taxing authority, etc.
