If I am named the beneficiary of an irrevocable trust do I have any control over any of the assets in the trust?
Smhcfh
No. The trustee has control over the trust property. In certain types of trusts the trust document provides that the trustee can only act at the direction of the beneficiaries, however, the trustee holds title to the trust property and generally the trust document gives the trustee the power to manage the trust property.

Who is the beneficiary in a life insurance contract?
The beneficiary is the person to receive the coverage amount when the person covered by the policy dies. In the first instance, the beneficiary is named by the applicant when application for the insurance policy is made. Unless the beneficiary designation is made irrevocable, the insured is free to change the beneficiary at any time until his/her death. Unless some provision of law or contract renders the designation of beneficiary irrevocable, the beneficiary does not have a right to remain as beneficiary and ordinarily cannot contest a subsequent change.
