It means the person who took some action did so as the trustee of a trust and that the terms of the trust have been amended.
The acronym UA DTD that is referenced on trusts, especially a living trust means: "Under the agreement dated".
Dated
They have no rights in the trust. The trust has already been established. They may be able to get help from a trust attorney.
In a living trust, the phrase 'dtd' stands for dated. It is very important to have the proper date that the trust effective for.
No, a revocable trust cannot be changed by a codicil. A revocable trust can only be amended by creating and executing a trust amendment document. A codicil is typically used to make changes to a will, not a trust.
A residuary trust is set forth in a Will and is non-revocable after the death of the testator. It can be amended or revoked while the testator is still living.
Revocable trust includes many advantages. Revocable Trust's main advantage is the agreement provides flexibility and income to the living grantor.
The co-trustee is not on title, the trust is. Think of the name of the trust as the name of a company. For example: The Tom and Martha Living Trust is the name of the entity (company) which technically owns the house. Tom and Martha as individuals are NOT vested owners in the house. They do have a Trust Agreement that shows they are the ones who control the Trust (trustees) and therefore can act as agents of that Trust (like a CEO of a company). If you need the co-trustee removed, you must dissolve or modify the trust agreement removing the co-trustee. Then they must sign with you on a Grant Deed that deeds the home from one Trust to another. In our example, Tom would dissolve or modify the Tom and Martha Living Trust into the Tom Living Trust. Then he and Martha would sign a Grant Deed which took the house from the Tom and Martha Living Trust and gave it to the Tom Living Trust. If the co-trustee is deceased, the vesting of the home need not be changed. The Trust agreement should contain language that leaves control of the trust with the surviving trustee.
Under The Trust Agreement
A trust is an agreement. You cannot "modify" a trust by a deed. Trusts are modified by amendments to the trust. Property can be removed from a trust by a deed executed by the trustee if the trustee has been given the power to sell real estate.
Get StartedThe Living Trust Revocation is a document used to revoke a living trust or joint living trust. The Revocation can be used to either dismantle the entire plan of using a revocable living trust or to revoke the "old" living trust in preparation for preparing and signing a "new" living trust. However, if a new living trust will be created, and if it will have the same number of grantors as the revoked living trust, consider amending and restating the existing living trust instead of revoking it. If the living trust is merely restated and not revoked/replaced, the assets already transferred to the living trust will remain in the living trust, avoiding the need to transfer each of them. (See this program's Living Trust or Joint Living Trust documents and select the option to "Amend" the Trust.)
