An irrevocable trust is a tool that moves assets out of your personal control to the trust. It can provide asset protection, tax planning, and clear distribution rules. Once established, changes are limited, so careful planning is essential.
Modifications to an irrevocable trust are typically limited. Depending on the deed, you may amend under specific conditions or with court approval, or you may need to create new documents that address your goals.
You should fund the trust with real estate, investments, cash, and other assets you want to manage through the trust.
Trusts can reduce certain tax burdens, but income tax and distributions depend on the trust terms and the grantor’s situation; consult a tax professional.
A trustee can be a trusted individual, a family member, or a professional entity; the choice depends on reliability and expertise.
Costs depend on complexity and care required. We provide upfront estimates and confirm pricing as plans develop.
Assets may receive protection in certain contexts, but protection is not absolute; discuss specifics with your attorney.
In general, irrevocable trusts are not revocable. Alternatives include pour-over wills and carefully drafted amendments where possible.
