Spendthrift provision
§ 736.0502 ↗A spendthrift provision is valid only if it restrains BOTH voluntary and involuntary transfer of a beneficiary's interest. A one-sided restraint may not be effective.

Creditors' claims against settlor
§ 736.0505 ↗Property of a revocable trust is generally subject to the claims of the settlor's creditors during the settlor's lifetime, to the extent the property is not otherwise exempt. This is why a revocable trust is not, by itself, asset protection for the settlor.
