There must have been a 1st amendment, and that you are unable to find the document. You should try to find the person that drafted the trust agreement and see if they drafted the 1st amendment. You can only administer what you have, and if you don't know the terms of the 1st amendment, then you go forward with what you have. The trust agreement is not the 1st amendment.
