There is a difference between something that is your asset and something that is not. Exemptions only apply to assets.Whether the realty trust is your asset depends on the trust instrument and your state law. In most cases, if the property was yours and you put it into a realty trust, and you are the trustee and the beneficiary of the trust, there is no legal trust, merely the form of a trust.If it is a true trust, then the question becomes, are you a/the beneficiary and what is your share of the value of the trust? That is an asset.If it is a true trust but it is a revocable trust so that you get the trust property on revocation, that will probably be an asset to you also.This is a complex area of law, and you really need to have an experienced trust/bankruptcy lawyer look everything over.

The mental status of the beneficiary has no bearing on distribution. If they have been declared mentally incompetent, the inheritance will be added to the trust for the beneficiary.
A trustee and a beneficiary are essential to a trust. Without a trustee and a beneficiary there is no valid trust. They should not be the same person.
No, they cannot. A trust for the benefit of the dog, with specifics has to what happens to the remainder on the death of the dog, could be the sole beneficiary.
If the trust is a spendthrift trust, then no, the beneficiary probably cannot borrow against it. It is up to the lender.

Not if the trust was properly drafted by a professional.
There is a disconnect here. A living trust is not related to an estate. The wording of the trust and perhaps the will associated with the individual will determine what the expectations are.
