One of the most critical roles in an irrevocable trust is that of the trustee. An irrevocable trust is established while the creator — the grantor — remains alive. Once assets have been transferred into the trust, they cannot be controlled, revoked, or modified. That means the trustee is tasked with managing and protecting trust assets according to the terms of the trust document and in the best interest of the beneficiaries.
