The answer depends on several factors.

Check the Trust Language First

The trust agreement may contain flexibility for modifications or termination.

Florida Statutes

If the trust language doesn't provide options, Florida statutes may allow for modification or termination.

Court Process

If neither the trust language nor statutes apply, we can go through a court process to request a judge allow modification or termination.

Bottom Line

While challenging, options exist for modifying or terminating irrevocable trusts depending on circumstances.

Consider living trust advantages for more flexible estate planning options.
