So regarding that date is this correct form, Dated this _7__ day of MAY, * or do I need the "th" after * to make it 7th and do i need parentheses around the month and the year?

Great! So how do I write the date in this introduction of Grantor and Trustee and do I have to write immediate trustee since it is understood that this irremovable trust automatically removes the Grantor as the trustee unlike a revocable trust where the Grantor is recognized the Trustee of the trust.
Case Rating: *
In the introduction of the Grantor and Trustee in a Colorado Irrevocable Trust, you would typically write the date as: "Dated this ___ day of [Month], [Year]." There's no need to mention "immediate trustee" since it's understood that the Grantor is not the Trustee in an irrevocable trust. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Can this date be earlier than the signing date since this TRUST documnet will actually be signed in the presence of a notary on a later date? Example with fictitious names "TRUST Agreement (“Agreement”) dated this _7th_ day of MAY, *, between Betty Doe ("Grantor") of Anytown, State and Susan Doe ("Immediate Trustee") of Anytown, State." The Mat 7th * date is the day it was created but not yet signed.

I made an error in my questions. Are proper name capitalized completely. Example JANE DOE versus Jane Doe, MAY versus May
Case Rating: *
In legal documents, proper names like "Jane Doe" and months like "May" are typically capitalized with only the first letter in uppercase. Fully capitalizing names or months (e.g., "JANE DOE" or "MAY") is generally not standard unless specified by a specific style guide or requirement. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Ok. Do I fully capitalize This IRREVOCABLE TRUST Agreement versus Irrevocable Trust agreement through out the document or just at the "title" of the document?
Case Rating: *
In a legal document like an irrevocable trust agreement, you typically capitalize it as "Irrevocable Trust Agreement" only in the title or headings. Throughout the document, it would be "Irrevocable Trust Agreement" unless a specific style guide or requirement dictates otherwise. Let me know if you have more questions!

Do I need to add the middle name of all parties though they do not spell it out when they write thier names?
Case Rating: *
In legal documents, it's generally not necessary to include the middle names of parties unless they are explicitly provided or required to distinguish between individuals with similar names.

If this person does not survive the Grantor, the tangible personal property shall be distributed with the residuary assets of this trust. I got cut off so Please WAIT to respond.

It's common for trust documents to specify how personal property is to be distributed. If Susan Doe is to serve as the residual beneficiary, she would typically be mentioned in the trust document as such. If the second paragraph specifies her role, it should be included to ensure clarity and proper distribution of assets. If you have any specific questions about the wording or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Based on what you've shared, it seems like you're drafting a trust document. If Susan Doe is to distribute specific items and also serve as the residual beneficiary, you may want to include both paragraphs. The first paragraph covers tangible personal property, and the second addresses residuary assets. Would you like guidance on any specific part of the document?
