Irrevocable Trusts Using an irrevocable trust allows you to minimize estate tax, protect assets from creditors and provide for family members who are under 18 years old, financially dependent, or who may have special needs.

There are just six steps to setting up a trust: Decide how you want to set up the trust. Create a trust document. Sign and notarize the agreement. Set up a trust bank account. Transfer assets into the trust. For other assets, designate the trust as beneficiary.

A trust amendment form is a legal document you use to make changes to your revocable trust. It isn't meant to change your trust document as a whole. Instead, a trust amendment form is used to change certain trust provisions, which are the terms or ?rules? you've set in your trust document.

The three most common types of trusts are: living, revocable, and irrevocable. A living trust is one that's created while you're still alive and can be revocable or irrevocable. A revocable living trust can be changed while you're still alive. An irrevocable living trust can't be changed after it's created.

The Revocable Trust (often referred to as a ?Living Trust?) is a popular and effective estate planning technique. It can provide an excellent way to manage, protect and distribute your assets during your lifetime, in the event of incapacity, and after your death.

A revocable trust can be changed at any time by the grantor during their lifetime, as long as they are competent. An irrevocable trust usually can't be changed without a court order or the approval of all the trust's beneficiaries. This makes an irrevocable trust less flexible.
