Is an irrevocable trust a living trust?
Yes. There are two types of trusts, living (intervivos) and testamentary. The living trust is created by a living person(called the settlor or trustor). The testamentary trust is created by the will of a deceased person. Living trusts are designated as either revocable or irrevocable depending on the authority of the settlor. If the settlor has the power to cancel or revoke the trust, it is a revocable trust. If the settlor has no power to revoke it then it is an irrevocable trust. Since the revocable/irrevocable distinction is determined by what the settlor can do while he or she is alive, the trust had to have been made during the settlor's lifetime. Hence, an irrevocable trust is a living trust. On the other hand a trust that is set forth in a person's will is revocable during the life of the testator simply by a modification of the will through a codicil. Once the testator has died that trust becomes irrevocable.

The Codicil will have the same heading as your will except you will be referring to it as Codicil to Last Will and Testament of YOU, dated on the ___ day of _____.First, determine the change that you are making to the Will. If you are changing the name of your personal representative, the beneficiaries, or just changing the spouse or deleting a former spouse.Next, you will need the exact article and line that is being changed and refer to them in the Codicil. When you have included the change to be made to the article and line, you will also need to include a statement that the rest of the Will is to remain unchanged.Last, make sure you include the date which of course must be after the date of your Will. You will also need to sign the Codicil and in many states you will need two witnesses and a notary public when you sign the Codicil.

How do you make an addendum to a will?
The best idea is to do it the same way the original will was done. If a lawyer drafted the will, have him handle any addendums. Probably the best idea is to do an entirely new will, to avoid any possibility of confusion. Its possible to make a holographic addendum to even a will drafted by a lawyer, but the same requirements would apply to a holographic addendum as would apply to a holographic will - it must be in the handwriting of the testator, written in cursive script and not printed, signed by the testator, and found among his important papers after his death.
