IRREVOCABLE TRUST
A trust that cannot be altered or cancelled without the consent of the beneficiary. Once the grantor transfers assets into the trust, he or she relinquishes ownership of the assets that is placed in the trust. This offers tax advantages such as permitting an individual to give money and assets away even he or she dies. Opposite of revocable trust.
