    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    An irrevocable trust must be in place a total of three years before the grantor's death. The grantor would not be able to touch the trust, unless dire circumstances are proven. Therefore, the money must sit in the trust for a total of three years, subject to current tax laws.
