What is an example of a revocable trust?
The following are some examples of revocable trust; Simple declaration of trust 1, which contains the type of provisions also found in revocable living for a single parent with adult child or children. It is a kind of trust where the grantor is also the only trustee. The second example is Simple Trust agreement 1 where someone other than the grantor is serving as trustee.
How do you enter a deed into a revocable trust?
You will need a Warranty or Quit claim deed. I strongly recommend that the deed be prepared by an attorney or escrow agent. The deed will list you as a grantor and the Trustee of the revocable as the grantee. You must sign the deed and follow through with any requirements to complete the transaction. If you fail to complete this procedure, you still own the property and the trust does not. This can be a disaster if the revocable trust is created by you as an estate plan. Please follow through.
Who has a copy of a revocable living trust?
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.
Is it possible to arrange an irrevocable trust with the same person as grantor trustee and beneficiary?

Power of attorney ends at death. A revocable and irrevocable trust with a trustee and benaficiarys would continue from life thru death. This would be a better option if your trying to hold on to property.
What is a Complex Non-Grantor Irrevocable Discretionary Trust?
In my experience, this would be considered, in layman's terms, a trust in which the grantor, when alive, created a discretionary trust, then the gantor died. Now, the trust is in the hands of the trustee appointed by the grantor, which makes it irrevocable. When the grantor was alive, it was revocable. Now, the complex part usually means that in any given tax period, the trust had distrubutions of principle of some sort. I hope this helps.

As an heir do you have the right to see the trust?
As an heir, you may not have the right to see the trust documents during the grantor's lifetime, but you may have the right to view the trust after the grantor's death. It is important to consult with an attorney to understand your rights and options regarding the trust.
