The amount of deposit insurance coverage you have for the accounts titled to your trust depends on a number of factors. The rule for determining the amount of deposit insurance provided by the FDIC for a trust is that each "owner" of the trust receives up to $100,000 of deposit insurance coverage for each "qualified" "beneficiary," for a revocable trust, and $100,000 for each "beneficiary" of an irrevocable trust, subject to various restrictions and qualifications.
For more detailed information, please see the Complete FDIC Guide to Calculating Deposit Insurance Coverage for Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts.
