Form 1041 is U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. Trusts are required to file Form 1041 when (1) its income is at least $600, or (2) it has a nonresident alien as a beneficiary. But a trust classified as a grantor trust isn't required to file Form 1041 if the individual grantor reports all the grantor trust incomes/allowable expenses on his own Form 1040. For tax purposes, an irrevocable trust is treated as a simple, complex, or grantor trust according to the powers listed in establishing the trust.
Yes a savings account trust can have an age when a beneficiary is entitled to it. For example, some people maybe entitled to it at age 18. It is best to contact the bank of the savings account to inquire.
The trustee must sign. The trustee is the only person who has the power to sign on behalf of the trust. It is their purpose.
A trust account is typically considered an asset. It holds funds or property that are managed for the benefit of a beneficiary, and the assets within the account belong to the beneficiary, not the trustee. However, from the trustee's perspective, it may also represent a liability, as they have a fiduciary duty to manage and disburse the assets according to the terms of the trust.

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. That would invalidate the trust.
You cannot have the same person as grantor, trustee and beneficiary in any trust. There is no trust created in such a set up. The grantor in an irrevocable trust cannot be the trustee. The property in an irrevocable trust must be permanently separated from the grantor's control.
In general, irrevocable trusts cannot be changed by the trustor once they are established. These trusts are designed to be permanent and the trust assets are no longer considered part of the trustor's estate. However, some irrevocable trusts may include provisions that allow for certain changes to be made under specific circumstances.

Yes, a beneficiary is not required to receive anything they don't want.
Can an irrevocable trust be changed or a new one created if never funded; without beneficiary consent?
In the context of a bank or checking account, "irrevocable" means that the actions or decisions associated with the account cannot be undone or reversed. For example, if a transaction or transfer is marked as irrevocable, it cannot be cancelled or revoked once it has been initiated. This term is used to indicate that the action is final and cannot be changed.
