How to Revoke a Trust in Los Angeles

In order to revoke a trust in the Los Angeles area, it is important to first find out whether you may qualify. Your trust must be revocable if you are to be able to modify or cancel the trust, and an attorney can review your particular case to determine the best approach. Most often, the trust agreement will outline whether the trust can be revoked, and in what manner. If there is no specific stipulation regarding revocation, the grantor (person from whom the trust is made) may be able to revoke the agreement. Your attorney will then need to fill out an appropriate form to revoke the trust.
