Full question:
When I have a Trust and am the Settlor and Trustee and I want to revoke paragraph 6B of my original Trust and rewrite it, can I do that? Is it called a Codicil or Addendum? Does it then go through Probate, even though the original Trust doesn't. Is there a form that I could use for this purpose?

Answer:
If your trust is revocable, you can amend it, including revoking and rewriting specific paragraphs like 6B. The ability to amend your trust depends on its terms, so check for any limitations or prerequisites outlined in the document.
Changes to a trust are typically called amendments, not codicils or addendums, which are terms used for wills. Since trusts are generally private documents, they usually do not go through the probate process, unlike wills.
For amending your trust, consider consulting a local attorney who can provide guidance based on your specific situation. Users can search for state-specific legal templates at .
