It is the with spendthrift provisions that attempt to disallow a creditor from invading the trust assets or forcing a distribution to the beneficiary that the creditor would then seize.

A spendthrift provision is a clause that provides for a person who in either incapacitated or unable to handle and control their money. This is usually a disabled person or an irresponsible person receiving the benefits from a trust.

A provision within a trust for the purpose described above, is a spendthrift provision.
