FAQ

A Trust amendment is a legal document changing one or more aspects of a revocable living Trust -- without revoking the entire structure. The goal of a living trust amendment is to help you make changes to beneficiaries, trustees, provisions, or modify any conditions to the Trust.

If you have a good reason to amend an irrevocable trust you can usually go to court and ask the judge to approve the changes. What's more, there are laws that specifically authorize an irrevocable trust to be amended or terminated under certain circumstances.

You can also amend a trust if you decide to add or remove property from the trust. Common situations that lead to a trust amendment are divorce or marriage, birth of a child or grandchild, a move to a state with different laws, a change in tax laws, a change in your financial situation, or the death of a beneficiary.

An amendment is a formal document making a change to one or multiple parts of a Revocable Living Trust. A codicil is a formal document making a change to one or multiple parts of a Last Will and Testament. If your Living Trust has been lost or destroyed, we can Restate your original Trust.

A codicil to a trust is called a ?trust amendment.? A trust amendment serves the same purpose as a codicil to a will. When changes occur in your life that affect the terms of an existing trust, you may need to amend your trust to accommodate those changes.

To amend a trust you will need to locate the provision or term in the original trust agreement that you wish to change. On a separate piece of paper labeled ?Trust Amendment?, you explain, in detail, the change you wish to make to the original agreement.

A codicil is a legal document that dictates any modifications or amendments to your last Will and Testament. If, for any reason, you feel the need to change some part of your Will ? which can include adding new arrangements or removing old ones ? you can easily do so with a codicil.

New York law allows a settlor to amend or revoke an irrevocable trust if he/she obtains the informed, express consent permission of the beneficiaries. If the beneficiaries include a minor, the law forgoes the need for informed, express consent of the minor if the amendment or revocation is beneficial to the minor.
