In addition to the other good comment you saw, there is a pervasive notion that trusts are somehow a good income tax shelter.
The truth is that trust income is taxed very aggressively - more aggressively than ordinary income for individuals - unless it is distributed out of the trust. And income distributed out of the trust, by definition, no longer is in the trust. And therefore not growing the trust corpus and not protected by the trust.
You can confirm this by going to look at the instructions for a trust income tax return, which is form 1041. I believe the taxes are calculated in Schedule G.
Trusts can provide some benefits, but avoiding federal income tax isn't one of them AFAICT.
