Why People Choose an Irrevocable Trust in Georgia

A will or revocable trust alone won’t fully protect against high-liability risks. An irrevocable trust is designed for stronger protection and tax planning:

  • Lawsuits & creditors — Separate ownership to help keep personal claims from touching trust assets.
  • Long-term care / Medicaid — Properly structured, funded in advance, and beyond the look-back, a trust can help preserve a home and savings.
  • Estate & gift taxes — Move growth outside the taxable estate and coordinate with lifetime exemptions.
  • Divorce & beneficiary creditors — Use spendthrift provisions and trustee controls to help keep inheritances intact.
  • Family conflict & misuse — Set clear rules for how and when beneficiaries receive funds.
  • Privacy — Keep transfers out of public court when assets are titled correctly.

What’s Included in Your Irrevocable Trust Package

Tailored Irrevocable Trust (Georgia)
We design the right structure for your goals (e.g., asset-protection trust, Medicaid-focused trust, life-insurance trust (ILIT), charitable options, or other irrevocable designs).

Your core protections can include:

  • Spendthrift clauses to help shield from beneficiary creditors and divorce
  • Independent trustee and/or trust protector for oversight and stability
  • Custom distribution rules (ages, milestones, lifetime income, discretionary support)
  • A letter of wishes to guide the trustee on your values and intent

Implementation Guidance
We map your entity + trust architecture, draft documents, and give clear steps for moving assets correctly.

Don’t want to give up control of certain assets (e.g., your primary residence) but still want to avoid probate?

Consider pairing this with a revocable trust (Essentials Plan) for those specific assets. 

Funding & Popular Add-Ons (So Protection Works in Real Life)

A trust only works when it’s funded.

We help you decide what to title to the trust, what to hold in LLCs, and what to leave by beneficiary designation.

Common add-ons:

  • LLC strategy & setup for rental portfolios or operating businesses; assignments & Operating Agreement updates
  • Real estate deeds (Georgia and out-of-state) to the trust or to LLCs owned by the trust (helps avoid ancillary probate)
  • Life insurance to an ILIT to keep death benefit outside the taxable estate
  • Investment accounts for children with distribution controls (ages, milestones, special-needs planning)
  • Charitable planning (charitable remainder/lead options)
  • Medicaid-oriented planning with timing for the 5-year look-back
  • New EINs & trust/LLC bank accounts where required
  • Funding Audit — final review to confirm accounts, deeds, and policies are correctly set up and documented

Asset protection must be put in place before a claim exists. Transfers are subject to fraudulent-transfer rules and Medicaid look-back periods.

Common Questions We Get

How is an irrevocable trust different from a revocable trust?

An irrevocable trust is designed for stronger protection and tax planning. After funding (and absent reserved powers), it can’t be freely changed.

A revocable trust stays fully under your control but generally does not protect against your creditors.

Do I lose control with an irrevocable trust?

You give up some personal control to gain protection. We use tools like independent trustees, trust protectors, and clear distribution rules so the plan follows your wishes without exposing you personally.

If you want to retain control but avoid probate, see our revocable trust (Essentials Plan).

Will this protect me from an existing lawsuit or debt?

No. Protection must be in place before a claim exists. Transfers are subject to fraudulent-transfer rules.

Can this help with Medicaid or nursing-home costs?

Often, yes—when planned well in advance. Medicaid has a 5-year look-back; transfers inside that window can cause penalties. We’ll walk through timing and options.

Does an irrevocable trust avoid probate in Georgia?

Yes—for assets titled to the trust. Proper funding and documentation are essential.
