Revocable Trusts vs. Irrevocable Trusts
Both revocable and irrevocable trusts allow certain assets to avoid probate, but they have some differences. Choosing the right type of trust depends on your individual circumstances and goals. Our Boise attorneys will help you determine the best solution for your needs.
A revocable trust has the following benefits:
- Can be modified or revoked by the grantor (the creator of the trust) during their lifetime
- Provides flexibility and control over assets
- Allows most assets to avoid probate
An irrevocable trust is less flexible but may offer financial advantages for some estates:
- Typically cannot be changed once established
- Offers stronger asset protection and potential estate tax benefits
- Requires the grantor to relinquish control over assets placed in the trust

FAQ About Revocable Living Trusts
- Can I act as my own trustee for a revocable living trust?
Yes, in most cases, you can serve as both the grantor (creator) and the trustee of your revocable living trust. You can also name a successor trustee who will take over management of the trust upon your death or incapacity.
- What happens to my trust assets if I become incapacitated?
If you become incapacitated, your designated successor trustee will step in to manage the trust according to your instructions. This ensures continuity and avoids the need for court intervention.

No. You might decide to transfer some or most of your assets into your trust. However, certain assets with designated beneficiaries, such as retirement accounts and life insurance policies, are not usually included.
