Once established, irrevocable trusts can't be changed or canceled by the grantor (hence the “irrevocable” in their name). The grantor forfeits ownership and authority over the trust and is unable to make any changes or amendments to the terms of the trust without permission from the beneficiary or a court order. The only three times you might want to consider creating an irrevocable trust is when you want to (1) minimize estate taxes, (2) become eligible for government programs, or (3) protect your assets from your creditors. If none of these situations applies, you should not have an irrevocable trust. #irrevocabletrust,
