A trust instrument is a writing declaration or agreement to allocate a settlor's property to their beneficiaries. It consists of the trust and regulates how the trust is executed. Trust instruments can be amended or revoked by the settlor at any time (but there are some exceptions, like irrevocable trusts).
So a Restatement would say ?I hereby take my entire trust named TRUST dated DATE and replace it with this whole new trust named TRUST dated TODAY'S DATE.? A restatement is generally cleaner, and a preferred way to amend trusts, as opposed to amendments.
A restatement does not amend the trust but restates the entire trust and includes whatever changes the creator wishes to be included. It normally revokes the earlier trust entirely and replaces the old trust with the new version. The old trust becomes null and void, replaced entirely by the restated trust.
For example, you might use a trust amendment form to: Update your trustee or successor trustee: If your chosen trustee is no longer willing or able to manage the trust, or you'd like to designate someone else, you can use an amendment form to name another person or organization to manage your trust.
A restatement differs from a Trust amendment, as amendments are better suited for minor adjustments. In some cases, a Trust restatement is recommended to consolidate several amendments made over time. This can help simplify things for a successor trustee, rather than having them follow several amending documents.
