Updating Your Trust
Practice Areas
Why should you update your Trust?
When situations such as your family, assets, or personal plans change, make sure your trust reflects what changed to save time and reduce the risks of experiencing challenges in the future. Here are some reasons why you should consider updating your trust:
Changes in your circumstances: Your personal circumstances may have changed since you created the trust, such as getting married, having children, or experiencing a significant change in your financial situation. These changes may necessitate updates to your trust to ensure that it still aligns with your wishes and goals.
Changes in the law: The laws governing trusts can change over time, and it's important to ensure that your trust is still in compliance with these laws. Updating your trust can help to ensure that it remains valid and effective.
Changes in your beneficiaries: You may have added or removed beneficiaries from your trust since it was created, or your beneficiaries' circumstances may have changed. Updating your trust to reflect these changes can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
To make the trust easier to administer: You may find that certain provisions of your trust are no longer necessary or are causing difficulties in its administration. Updating the trust can help to streamline the process and make it easier to manage.
In general, it's a good idea to review your trust periodically to ensure that it is still achieving your goals and that it is up-to-date with any changes in your circumstances or the law.
