Can I change the terms of a trust?

Yes, you can change the terms of a trust in Minnesota. A trust is a legal agreement that sets out how your property or assets are to be managed and distributed. A trust is created by a formal document, and it will typically include instructions about how trustees can modify the trust. In Minnesota, you can modify the terms of a trust as long as the change is not inconsistent with the original trust agreement. Minnesota also requires all changes to be made in writing. Depending on the details of the trust, in some cases, the change may need to be approved by a court, or it may require the consent of all the beneficiaries of the trust. You cannot change the terms of the trust if the trust agreement specifically states that it cannot be changed. Furthermore, some trusts may be irrevocable, meaning that the terms of the trust cannot be changed. In Minnesota, trust modifications are governed by Minn. Stat. §501B.095. The statute outlines the requirements for making changes to a trust, including the signatures and approvals that may be required for the modification to be valid. It is important to consult a qualified trust attorney to make sure that any changes to the trust are done correctly.
