Why Would You Want An Irrevocable Living Trust?

Trusts survive the creator. For example, when you create a living trust and either become unable to manage your affairs or you die, the trust carries on, and your wishes will be carried out.

The difference between revocable and irrevocable lies in the power to make changes and who has that power. An irrevocable living trust creates a clear separation of ownership between the creator and the trustee. This means that a third party, the person you designate, will control the trust the entire time. By relinquishing control of the trust during your lifetime, you can:

• Protect and preserve your assets
• Avoid probate
• Maintain eligibility for benefits
• Keep the “exempt” status of property in certain situations
• Comply with state and federal rules and regulations
