Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

amendment to trust, power of attorney

I need to change my trust and power of attorney (address, trustees, bank account) since I moved. Do I need to go thru an attorney to change or can I prepare an amendment stating section/paragraph changed in front of document. If I prepare does it need to be witnessed or notorized?

Re: amendment to trust, power of attorney

Trusts and Powers of Attorneys are very complicated and important documents. I would strongly recommend getting an attorney to help you with the documents. You could try to amend them yourself, but there is no way I could tell you how to do that without seeing the documents. It has been my experience that those who try to amend such documents themselves do not do so correctly.

If you would like a free consultation on this matter, please contact my office and I would be glad to speak with you.
