- Louisiana [3]
Area of Law:
An irrevocable trust is a type of trust that can’t be changed or terminated without the authorization of the beneficiary. The primary purpose for setting up an irrevocable trust is for estate and tax considerations. This type of trust is advantageous with regard to estate assets in that it eliminates all incidents of ownership, and thus it effectively eradicates the trust's assets from the grantor's taxable estate.
