Is an irrevocable trust a living trust?
Yes. There are two types of trusts, living (intervivos) and testamentary. The living trust is created by a living person(called the settlor or trustor). The testamentary trust is created by the will of a deceased person. Living trusts are designated as either revocable or irrevocable depending on the authority of the settlor. If the settlor has the power to cancel or revoke the trust, it is a revocable trust. If the settlor has no power to revoke it then it is an irrevocable trust. Since the revocable/irrevocable distinction is determined by what the settlor can do while he or she is alive, the trust had to have been made during the settlor's lifetime. Hence, an irrevocable trust is a living trust. On the other hand a trust that is set forth in a person's will is revocable during the life of the testator simply by a modification of the will through a codicil. Once the testator has died that trust becomes irrevocable.

An irrevocable letter of credit is a financial document that cannot be altered or canceled without the consent of all parties involved, providing a strong guarantee to the beneficiary that they will receive payment as long as they meet the specified terms. In contrast, a revocable letter of credit can be modified or canceled by the issuer at any time without the beneficiary's consent, which offers less security to the party receiving the credit. Irrevocable letters of credit are commonly used in international trade to ensure payment reliability, while revocable letters of credit are less frequently used due to their inherent risks.
