I’m structuring my will for just that. Making sure I own nothing when I get old.

I’m banking on being eaten by bears in the woods, which would be preferable to the “grandad’s got money” scheme so many organizations have.

“I’m banking on being eaten by bears in the woods, “

Probably better to do what old and infirm USA “Indians” allegedly used to do:

Head out from camp on a really cold night and freeze to death.

Could be worse.

It's a good plan, but realize that putting property into a trust isn't a perfect shield. If there are creditors owed money before the trust is created, they are still owed and the property placed in the trust is not protected until that debt is resolved. If you are totally debt free at the time of the trust creation, then the assets placed in the trust are unencumbered.
