You need to refer to the part of the trust that you are changing, for one thing. Otherwise you run the risk of some judge down stream reading the amendment as cumulative rather than amending, and creating a result you did not intend.

An addendum and an amendment are not the same. If an attorney created the trust, you should consult with an attorney if you are making changes.
