Trust Amendments in Los Angeles

What is an amendment and why is one needed?

If the grantor of a revocable living trust is still alive and mentally competent, he or she can make changes to the trust at any time. Such changes consist of modifications, updates, or the complete revoking of specific provisions. The amendment is called the "Amendment to the Living Trust" and is usually a separate document attached to the original trust.
Many reasons require an amendment to a living trust. Some of them are the sale of a trust property, marriage, the birth of a child, name changes, the death of a spouse or beneficiary, or adding or deleting certain bequests. Also, if the grantors of the trust move to a different state, the trust may need to be amended per the state laws in which they newly reside.
