What is the difference between a living trust and a revocable living trust?
A living trust and a revocable living trust are essentially the same thing. Both are legal arrangements where an individual (the grantor) places assets into a trust during their lifetime to be managed for the benefit of themselves and/or others. The key difference is that a revocable living trust can be changed or revoked by the grantor during their lifetime, whereas an irrevocable living trust cannot be changed once it is established.

Can an heir who is the trustee of his sister's special needs trust sue her trust to get money for another sibling who was written out of the will?
No. The heir has no right to the funds set aside in the special needs trust. A living donor set that trust up with their own property and the heir has no rights to that property whatsoever. The trust is not responsible in any way for a sibling who was disinherited. Parents are allowed to disinherit their adult children.
You receive ssi can you still have special needs trust fund?
Yes, individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can have a special needs trust fund.

It is important to work with a knowledgeable attorney or financial planner to set up and manage the trust fund correctly.
Is it possible to arrange an irrevocable trust with the same person as grantor trustee and beneficiary?

Can a grantor who is also the trustee break an irrevocable trust?
Warning! An irrevocable trust is not created when the grantor (trustor) is also the trustee. By transferring their property to a trust of which they are the trustee the grantor has retained control over the property. Irrevocable trusts are usually set up for tax purposes. The grantor cannot retain any control over the property in order for the trust to qualify as an irrevocable trust. The trust you describe has failed and left the trust property exposed to creditors and taxes. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in trust law and tax law.
What does it mean that you cannot get the assets back in a revocable trust?

The main reasons for setting up an irrevocable trust are estate planning and tax purposes. Generally, assets in an irrevocable trust are shielded from creditors.

Irrevocable means exactly that. The Beneficiaries might be able to remove the trustee if there is malfeasance, misfeasance, incompetence, negligence, fiduciary mismanagement, etc. This is a very difficult task to prove
What does the word revocable mean when a living trust is set up that way?
It means that the trustor, or maker of the trust, retained the right to terminate the trust and recover the trust property. That type of trust has tax consequences for the trustor and may leave the property exposed to creditors. An irrevocable trust takes all power over the property out of the trustor's control and out of her/his estate.
Can a beneficiary give up his shares in an irrevocable trust?
Yes, a beneficiary is not required to receive anything they don't want.

Can a child's trust fund be stolen?
It depends on the type of trust and how it was set up. If it is irrevocable, it cannot be changed except by a court. The person that set the trust up may be able to make changes to it. In most cases the beneficiary will not be able to change it. In some trusts, there are clauses that allow for it to be dissolved if the trust meets certain requirements, or the beneficiary reaches a certain age.
Can the funds in an Irrevocable Trust be garnished?
The short answer is NO, no way, no how, not a chance. The long answer is how long ago was the irrevocable trust fund set up? And did the person setting it up know a lawsuit was on the way? In other words, does it look to a judge that money was purposely put in an irrevocable trust fund in order to avoid garnishment? If it was set up 12 or more months ago, it's as safe as money can be. If the whole thing looks suspicious, a judge could garnish but this almost NEVER EVER happens. There is one other issue, is it child support that would be the garnish? If so, I think a judge might ignore the fact that it's irrevocable. The courts always put an innocent child first so if it's unpaid support, it could be at risk. I have a few different irrevocable funds left by my dad. I was able to change the trustee (the person in charge of distributing the $$ in the fund to me because I was a minor) on one of them but only because that person agreed to step down. He was in prison for the felony of embezzling money..... FROM ME, and I still needed him to step down.
