As the Trustee of an Irrevocable Trust Fund (ITF), you typically cannot unilaterally change the beneficiary. The terms of the trust document govern any changes, and modifications may require the consent of the beneficiaries or a court order, depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. If you're considering a change, it's essential to consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with the trust's terms and applicable laws.

In order for title to real property to pass to the beneficiary legally, the estate must be probated. The "beneficiary" needs to provide proof to the tenants that they are the new owner of the property. The beneficiary's source of title is the probated will filed in probate court. If the beneficiary wants to have the property conveyed to her/him by deed, that can be arranged through the attorney who handled the estate. A letter from the attorney who handled the estate would be the appropriate way to notify the tenants of the new ownership. In fact, the tenants should have some official notification of the change in ownership so they know they are paying their rent to the right party. You should discuss this matter with the attorney who handled the estate and get some legal advice about your new role as a landlord.

Keep in mind that anyone can dispute anything almost anytime. The answer is yes, but the disputing beneficiaries would have to claim and prove the disputed beneficiary unduly influenced by that beneficiary to be added to the policy or that the insured made the change when he/she lacked the mental capacity to do so. There are other legal theories to be used in such a case as well.
