Investopedia explains 'Active Trust'

An active trust is in contrast to a passive trust in which the trustee performs no active duties. A trust is a relationship where the trustor gives another person, the trustee, the right to hold title to a property or assets for a beneficiary. It is commonly used if the beneficiary is underage or has a disability that impairs them from maintaining their own finances.
