the beneficiary in a trust is the person whom benefits from that which is held in trust.
A trustee and a beneficiary are essential to a trust. Without a trustee and a beneficiary there is no valid trust. They should not be the same person.
It should have any impact unless you are a beneficiary of the trust.
A beneficiary of a trust has the right to an accounting as a way to make certain the trust assets are not being wasted or mishandled by the trustee. A trustee does not have the right to operate in secret. A court can order an accounting.
YES
If the trust is a spendthrift trust, then no, the beneficiary probably cannot borrow against it. It is up to the lender.
You need to check with the state laws that govern the trust. In Missouri, you should have a document that clearly references the original trust, points to the grantor's power to revoke within the document, and clearly indicate your desire to revoke it. It should also be notarized, but there would be no need to record it or have witnesses. Be sure not to revoke a valid trust that holds assets until the assets are transferred out of the trust.
Not if the trust was properly drafted by a professional.
