Is an Irrevocable Trust still valid if the Deed filed predates the date of the Trust?
Trusts and trust law are complicated areas of law and should not be tinkered with by an unprofessional. Trusts need to be drafted and managed by a professional, especially when real property is involved. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in trust and real estate law in your jurisdiction. You should take a copy of the trust and the deed in question with you so they can be examined by the attorney. The attorney will then need to review the land records for the particular property to determine what deeds have been recorded. It will take some research to determine the status of the property.

Does an irrevocable trust with a life estate provision need to file a trust return if there is no income or other activity that the trust is involved with?
It is always a good idea to file a return, even if there is no activity. It shows that the trust is still being maintained and that there is no unreported activity going on.
Who is the beneficiary when 2 of the 3 people have died on an irrevocable trust Grantor is still alive.?
In an irrevocable trust, the beneficiaries are typically specified in the trust document. If two of the three beneficiaries have died, the remaining beneficiary would generally continue to receive their share, unless the trust specifies an alternate distribution plan or contingent beneficiaries. If there are no remaining beneficiaries or if the trust terms dictate, the grantor may need to consult the trust document or seek legal advice to determine the next steps, as the trust's provisions will govern the distribution.

Can the funds in an Irrevocable Trust be garnished?
The short answer is NO, no way, no how, not a chance. The long answer is how long ago was the irrevocable trust fund set up? And did the person setting it up know a lawsuit was on the way? In other words, does it look to a judge that money was purposely put in an irrevocable trust fund in order to avoid garnishment? If it was set up 12 or more months ago, it's as safe as money can be. If the whole thing looks suspicious, a judge could garnish but this almost NEVER EVER happens. There is one other issue, is it child support that would be the garnish? If so, I think a judge might ignore the fact that it's irrevocable. The courts always put an innocent child first so if it's unpaid support, it could be at risk. I have a few different irrevocable funds left by my dad. I was able to change the trustee (the person in charge of distributing the $$ in the fund to me because I was a minor) on one of them but only because that person agreed to step down. He was in prison for the felony of embezzling money..... FROM ME, and I still needed him to step down.
Can creditor go after trust?
Yes, creditors can potentially go after a trust, but it depends on the type of trust and the circumstances surrounding it. In general, if the trust is revocable, creditors can reach the assets because the grantor still has control over them. However, in the case of irrevocable trusts, creditors may have a more challenging time accessing the trust's assets, as they are typically considered separate from the grantor's personal assets. Legal nuances and state laws play a significant role in determining the extent to which creditors can pursue trust assets.
Can a trustee sell assets in a irrevocable trust when the decease owns 99 percent of the property named in the trust?
You must review the terms of the trust to determine the powers of the trustee. If you still have questions then you need to consult an attorney who specializes in trust law.On one point you seem to be confused. A decedent cannot be the owner of 99% of the property in a trust. The property is owned by the trust. The most common purpose of a trust is to remove property out of a person's estate (the grantor) so that the property bypasses probate.Once a person transfers her property to a trust, it is managed by a trustee according to the terms of the trust. A properly drafted trust has provisions that direct the distribution of property after the death of the grantor.
