Modifying Irrevocable Trusts Texas
Summary
In Texas, an irrevocable trust can be modified with all parties consent, possibly requiring court approval. Trust documents are private, but property deeds may need county recording. LLC shares in a trust are personal property, governed by the LLCs operating agreement. Simple trusts distribute all income annually, while complex trusts can retain income and are taxed higher. Texas has no state income tax on trusts, but federal taxes apply. Trustee compensation depends on trust terms and reasonableness. Spendthrift clauses protect beneficiaries from creditors, not settlors.Full Conversation
