Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can money be spent from an irrevocable trust?

As a threshold matter, you cannot simply withdraw this money from the trust. It no longer belongs to you. Once assets have been placed in an irrevocable trust, they are out of your (or anybodys) docHub until the trust makes its distributions. Instead, you need to plan for this when you establish the trust.

Can the government take money from an irrevocable trust?

Generally, the IRS cannot seize assets held in a properly structured irrevocable trust. A properly structured trust is one where the grantor fully relinquishes ownership, control, and beneficial interest, and the trust is administered independently in compliance with applicable laws.

Who pays taxes on a spendthrift trust?

Assets are removed from your estate, potentially reducing estate taxes. Trust pays taxes on undistributed income. Beneficiaries pay taxes on distributions they receive.

Can you use money from an irrevocable trust?

Generally, only a trustee can withdraw money from an irrevocable trust. If the creator also designates themselves as trustee, they could maintain access to funds, but they will still be regulated by the trust document, probate law, and their fiduciary duty.

What is a spendthrift irrevocable trust?

Irrevocable spendthrift trusts are irreversible asset transfers. They have the advantage of potentially reducing estate taxes, because once the assets go into the trust, theyre technically no longer your assets and thus not part of your taxable estate.
