How Do I Correct the Misspelled Name in an Affidavit of Successor Trustee?

Answer:
In order to make changes to a revocable living trust, a person may sign a Trust Amendment or sign a complete Trust Restatement. A trust amendment changes specific provisions of a revocable living trust but leaves all of the other provisions unchanged, while an amendment and restatement of Trust completely replaces and supercedes all of the provisions of the original revocable living trust.
If the error is only in the affidavit, another affidavit may be prepared. You may also inquire at the county recorder's office if they have a local procedure for correcting clerical/typographical errors. In some cases, a court order is required to have the records custodian make the change.
