A lifetime trust shall be irrevocable unless it expressly provides
that it is revocable. In addition to the method set forth in 7-1.17, a
revocable lifetime trust can be revoked or amended by an express
direction in the creator's will which specifically refers to such
lifetime trust or a particular provision thereof.
