*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Only a REVOCABLE trust can be terminated this way — an irrevocable trust generally cannot be revoked by the grantor alone, if at all. Also remember that any asset titled in the trust's name (like real estate) needs its own deed or title change back to your individual name — revoking the trust document alone doesn't automatically retitle those assets.*
