Trust law is one of the most complex areas of law. A trust attorney needs to be an expert in state and federal tax law. Trusts drafted in one state may not be valid in another state for the purposes of the trustor. Errors made by attorneys and Accountants who are not familiar with trust law are common and costly to correct. Unfortunately those errors are often discovered years later when the attorney or accountant is no longer in practice. In many cases the corrections must be made by a judge so legal costs are involved. The drafting of a trust, especially an irrevocable trust, by a non-professional is a recipe for disaster. By its nature, an irrevocable trust cannot be undone by the trustor, the trustor cannot have any control over the property whatsoever and if you are the one asking this question you have no knowledge of trust law. You need to consult with an attorney in your area who is an expert in trust law.

Is an irrevocable trust a living trust?
Yes. There are two types of trusts, living (intervivos) and testamentary. The living trust is created by a living person(called the settlor or trustor). The testamentary trust is created by the will of a deceased person. Living trusts are designated as either revocable or irrevocable depending on the authority of the settlor. If the settlor has the power to cancel or revoke the trust, it is a revocable trust. If the settlor has no power to revoke it then it is an irrevocable trust. Since the revocable/irrevocable distinction is determined by what the settlor can do while he or she is alive, the trust had to have been made during the settlor's lifetime. Hence, an irrevocable trust is a living trust. On the other hand a trust that is set forth in a person's will is revocable during the life of the testator simply by a modification of the will through a codicil. Once the testator has died that trust becomes irrevocable.
