    --
    Many people establish a revocable living trust in order to enable their loved ones to avoid the court-supervised and attorney-involved probate proceeding when they pass away.
    All of those trusts have a name or title. Many people include the word "Revocable" in the title of their revocable living trust.
    But perhaps it would be a better idea to leave the word "Revocable" out of the title of your trust. You may want to restate your living trust in the future to make it "Irrevocable," in order to attempt to protect your trust assets from potential creditors or from long term care expenses.
    If the word "Revocable" is in the title, and if for some reason you want to have the protections in place that an irrevocable trust would provide, you will have to revoke your living trust, remove all of the assets from that trust, and then place them in some new trust.
    However, if you exclude the word "Revocable" from the title of your living trust, you will have more restatement options and more protection options to restate the terms of your trust in order to achieve more protections that a revocable living trust would provide.

    You can make up an original name for your irrevocable living trust. The trust doesn’t have to be your own name. The name of your trust could be “happy days 123”. This could help information inside the trust to remain confidential.

    When learning about Irrevocable life insurance trusts, I learned that many people feel their “trust” is affording more protection than is actually the case. Self education plus professional advice is my goal. I see too many people blindly following professional advice. The advice should be the beginning of journey, it’s too late at the end (I wish I knew that earlier, etc.)

    *Scenario:* Someone older is a beneficiary on a policy. However, they are likely to transition before the policy will be paid (before the insured will transition). Is it possible to name that policy in a trust BEFORE they transition to ensure that the trust is paid, even if it's posthumously, and have that benefit designated to a specific person?
