The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Do
revocable trusts become irrevocable upon the death of the grantor?”
Upon the death of the grantor or settlor, a revocable
trust becomes a testamentary trust. Testamentary
trusts, by their nature, are always irrevocable trusts since there is no
settlor alive to change the trust agreement.
This process is automatic, upon the filing of the death certificate.
