Mr. Whitman:
Unfortunately for your situation, many trusts are written with specific provisions and restrictions like yours. These provisions exist to maximize the life of the trust and to protect its ability to provide for you (and potentially other beneficiaries.) Modifying a trust is not impossible, but it takes an experienced probate and trust attorney to guide you through. Even then, there are some situations that simply do not warrant modification, and you should prepare yourself for not getting what you ask for even if you retain an attorney to present your case.
