If an irrevocable trust is not serving the best interests of the qualified beneficiaries, then it can be modified by the court in a judicial modification proceeding. For example, if the terms of a trust disqualify a beneficiary from public benefits such as Medicaid, judicial modification may be necessary to alter the trust’s provisions to maintain a beneficiary’s eligibility for public benefits.
