Can a revocable trust be changed by a codicil?
Generally, a revocable trust is a living trust. The instrument that created the trust, sometimes called a Declaration of Trust, must set forth all the provisions of the trust including how and if it can be amended. Amendments to a trust must be attached to the original trust instrument. If the trust is recorded in the land records any amendments thereto must be recorded in the land records. Changes to a living trust are called trust amendments.A testator can also set forth a trust in their will. That type of trust is called a testamentary trust. A testamentary trust can be amended by a codicil.
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.
