What is an irrevocable trust amendment?

An irrevocable trust amendment is a legal document which amends the terms of an irrevocable trust in Washington. An irrevocable trust is a trust which cannot be altered or revoked once it has been established. This means that, unlike a revocable trust, the terms of an irrevocable trust cannot be changed without the consent of all of the parties involved. An irrevocable trust amendment allows the parties to alter the terms of the trust without having to create a new trust. The amendment must be signed by all of the parties involved and must include an accurate description of the trust. It must also specify which terms of the trust are to be changed, why they are being changed and how they are to be changed. Additionally, in some cases, the amendment must be approved by a court. An irrevocable trust amendment allows the parties involved in the trust to alter the terms of the trust without having to create a new trust. It is important to note, however, that any changes to an irrevocable trust must be done with the consent of all the parties involved, and in some cases with the approval of a court. As such, it is important to understand the legal ramifications of making such changes before proceeding to amend the trust.
