"Simple trust" is a term used in the Internal Revenue Code to define a trust that:
• Is not a grantor trust or required to be treated as a grantor trust;
• Is required to distribute all income annually; and
• Does not distribute the corpus of the trust or make charitable contributions. (IRC Section 651).
