If I Move to a New State Do I Need to Make a New Trust?
Full Question:
Answer:
Typically, a new trust doesn't not need to be created solely due to relocation to another state. 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. We are prohibited from giving legal advice, as this service provides information of a general legal nature. I suggest consulting a local attorney who can review all the facts and documents involved.
