The grantor (the person who created the trust) typically retains a copy of a revocable living trust, as well as the trustee (the person managing the trust). It's also common for a lawyer or financial institution involved in creating the trust to have a copy. It is important to keep the trust document in a safe place and ensure that trusted individuals know its location.
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.

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.

If I am the beneficiary of a revocable living trust which is specific and only has one house in it can I assign my beneficiary rights to some one else?

I other words I am selling or assigning the trust which owns the house. The trustee will remain the same, only the beneficiary will change.
