Best Answer

A revocable trust can be changed or modified prior to the Settlor's (a settlor is the person who opened the trust, in this case your aunt) death. Only the Settlor can change or terminate the trust, and after the death, the trust cannot be changed. If the trust was made with a spouse who has passed away, it may not be possible for the trust to be changed.
