An irrevocable trust transfers ownership of assets to a trustee for the benefit of named beneficiaries, with limited ability to change terms.
Unlike revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts are harder to modify but can offer asset protection and potential tax advantages under California law.
In California, an irrevocable trust is created by a written agreement that transfers assets to a trustee. The grantor relinquishes control and sets terms for distributions and management.
Key components include the grantor, trustee, beneficiaries, the trust document, funding assets, and a plan for ongoing administration and successor trustees.

An irrevocable trust is a trust in which the grantor relinquishes control over assets. The terms are typically fixed and can offer protection and tax advantages. Discuss with a Loomis attorney to determine if this trust fits your goals.
Assets such as real estate, bank accounts, and investments can be placed in an irrevocable trust. Funding requires transfers and proper titling to ensure the trust is effective.
Irrevocable trusts can influence estate taxes and may provide ongoing tax planning opportunities. The impact depends on the trust terms and applicable state and federal laws.
In some cases, irrevocable trusts cannot be changed or revoked. After creation, modifications require careful legal consideration and may depend on the trust document.
Individuals seeking asset protection, probate avoidance, or specific legacy goals often consider irrevocable trusts as part of a broader estate plan.
A trustee can be a trusted individual or a professional fiduciary. The choice should reflect reliability, understanding of duties, and ability to manage assets responsibly.
Beneficiaries receive distributions per the trust terms. Upon termination, remaining assets are distributed according to the agreement unless otherwise directed by law.
Setting up an irrevocable trust can take several weeks to months, depending on complexity, funding needs, and review cycles.
Fees vary by complexity, drafting needs, and funding steps. We provide a clear estimate after reviewing your goals and assets.
