See an attorney, you have acted without advise and it has backfired. It MIGHT be possible to reverse.

Can the Irrevocable Living Trust Trustee be the same person as the Trustor?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It sounds like you are mixing things up. If you are talking about an irrevocable trust, then no, the grantor should not be the trustee. One of the purposes behind an irrevocable trust is to typical get assets OUT of the grantor's estate, for various reasons. Having the grantor as a trustee (or beneficiary) would defeat that purpose. A trust is a relatively complex estate planning tool. If not done properly, it will not achieve your objectives. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing right, which means using an attorney. When you skimp on estate planning, it is likely to cost both you AND your beneficiaries.

You need to sit down with a real estate attorney and go over your situation in detail. The remedies (how you can be compensated) depend on the breach (how you were wronged).
