A living trust is very similar to a living will. The living trust is created by the individual and outlines the wishes of that individual in regards to their assets.
Provisions of a living trust remain valid as long as you stay alive, but the benefactors of your estate are not bound by these provisions once you have died. An irrevocable trust binds the benefactors of your estate to the trust's provisions.
Revocable trust includes many advantages. Revocable Trust's main advantage is the agreement provides flexibility and income to the living grantor.
The question is ambiguous, but generally, there is no particular advantage to capital gains for a trust v. an individual. It's still the same rate.
Generally, an irrevocable living trust is created in order to transfer assets from a parent's estate to the trust in order to avoid inheritance taxes on the parent's estate, protect assets from creditors, make charitable contributions and other purposes. The key thing about the irrevocable trust is that the trustor (the trust maker) can not later change the terms of the trust once the documents have been signed.

Get StartedThe Living Trust Revocation is a document used to revoke a living trust or joint living trust. The Revocation can be used to either dismantle the entire plan of using a revocable living trust or to revoke the "old" living trust in preparation for preparing and signing a "new" living trust. However, if a new living trust will be created, and if it will have the same number of grantors as the revoked living trust, consider amending and restating the existing living trust instead of revoking it. If the living trust is merely restated and not revoked/replaced, the assets already transferred to the living trust will remain in the living trust, avoiding the need to transfer each of them. (See this program's Living Trust or Joint Living Trust documents and select the option to "Amend" the Trust.)
A living trust is simply a trust created by a living person. It is also known as an "inter vivos trust". That's Latin meaning a trust between living persons. Conversely, a trust created by someone in a will is called a testamentary trust.
The abbreviation for living trust is "LT".

Your grandmother needs to review the trust document to see if she reserved the right to make amendments to the trust. The trust document provides all the powers that can be exercised regarding the trust.

Not necessarily. Sometimes people have more than one living trust. It depends on what the new trust says and how your assets are titled. Consult an attorney.

Does the trust have assets in it?
The grantor in a living trust is the person who executes or creates the trust and then transfers their property to the trustee. After they transfer the property they no longer own it.
