Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
When an attorney drafts up trust documents and has entered the date on the documents and later finds that the person paying the trust cannot make the appointment to sign the documents and has to reschedule, does the attorney have to rewrite the documents for the correct date that they are signed or can he just cross out the date and write in the new date? Thank you

Normally, no matter what other dates are on a document, except for those in the future, the document is not effective until signed, so the typed dates do not have to be changed.
How old is the attorney? Most of us have office computers with word processors. It's not that hard to change the date on a document in a word processing program to conform to the date the client actually signs.
