How do I set up a trust account?

If you are the trustee, you can onboard your trust to an Unchained account.

An Unchained trust account is titled to the entity of your trust. Consult a legal professional in your jurisdiction for help when forming a trust. You must already have established your trust when you create the Unchained trust account.
