What is a non revocable trust fund?
An irrevocable trust is one in which the settlor (or creator) of the trust does not retain any control of the trust, and thus the trust cannot be amended. The reason that an individual would chose to create an irrevocable rather than revocable trust is that the money cannot be touched by creditors or anyone else. There are also money-saving benefits to the creation of an irrevocable trust primarily relating to probate fees and taxes.
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.
