    Study Notes

    Revocable Trusts

    • Settlor can terminate a Revocable Trust if all beneficiaries are alive and in agreement.
    • Revocable Trusts provide flexibility, allowing changes or terminations by the settlor.

    Irrevocable Trusts

    • Upon the settlor's death, an Irrevocable Trust can be terminated through:
      • Unanimous agreement of both income beneficiaries and remaindermen.
      • Ensuring that no material purpose of the trust remains to be fulfilled.

    Beneficiary Types

    • Income beneficiaries (IB) hold a present interest in the trust, receiving benefits while the trust is active.
    • Remaindermen (R) possess a future interest, receiving benefits after the income beneficiaries' rights end.
    • Common law generally presumes trusts to be irrevocable unless there is a clear provision for revocability.
    • The Uniform Trust Code (UTC) operates under the opposite presumption, treating trusts as revocable unless explicitly stated otherwise.
