Absolutely....All one needs is to be the trustee of the irrevocable trust, have a Tax Identification number for the trust, and all documents for the estate, investments, shares, and accounts you are planning to transfer into the Trust account.
You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how it must be managed. A well drafted trust will include a provision for an alternate beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies or it will include a provision for the termination of the trust and distribution of any remaining trust property.
