    Making Simple Changes. To make simple changes to an existing trust, you may not need use a revocation.  Instead, look into making a trust amendment or restatement. 

    • A trust amendment is a document that you attach to your existing trust that adds, modifies or removes clauses from the trust.  Use an amendment to make simple changes, like adding a beneficiary or renaming a successor trustee.  To make an amendment, you can use Nolo's Amendment to Living Trust
    • A restatement of trust rewrites your existing trust document.  It includes new or changed clauses, but keeps the name of your existing trust. Use a trust amendment for more complicated changes.  You can get a restatement of trust from the lawyer or other resource that you used to create your existing trust.

    Adding or removing property.  If you want to add or remove property from your trust, you do not need to revoke or amend it.  Adding or removing property usually requires only updating your property schedules and transferring the property in or out of the trust.
