Can I revoke a trust?

Yes, you can revoke a trust in the state of New Hampshire. A trust is a legal agreement between the creator of the trust, known as the settlor, and a trustee. The trustee has a legal obligation to manage the trust and use it to benefit the beneficiaries. As the settlor, you can revoke a trust if it is not irrevocable. This means that you can make changes to the trust or even revoke the trust entirely. Generally speaking, to revoke a trust, you must take some action to indicate that you are revoking it. This could include signing a revocation document, obtaining a court order of revocation, or notifying the trustee of your intention to revoke the trust. The process of revoking a trust will depend on the type of trust you have and the laws in your state. Before you decide to revoke a trust, it is important to speak with a qualified estate planning attorney to ensure that you are following the correct steps and that all legal requirements are met. A lawyer can also help you understand the implications of revoking a trust and any consequences that may arise from doing so. By knowing your options and the potential consequences, you can make an informed decision about whether revoking a trust is the right course of action.
