Answer:
If you have a living trust then the property in the trust passed through the trust. All other property would pass through your Will.
You could make a Will that is not inconsistent with the Trust and keep the trust.
You could terminate the trust and just make a Will unless a provision prohibits termination or revocation which would not be typical in a living trust.
You could make a new living trust and Will.
Before you do anything make sure they are executed property or they may not be enforceable.
