Answer by  TomEdgar (9)

Usually, if the trustee is still alive the trust can be dissolved quickly with the attorney who created the trust. As long as it is still a living trust, usually the person in charge of the trust is the same as the beneficiary and the sole trustee.

It is not difficult; it is somewhat complex and should be done by an attorney. New documents must be drawn up, and filings made to change the power of attorney and health directives.

A revocable living trust can be revoked or changed at any time for any reason as long as the grantor is alive and competent. The grantor maintains control of the trust. The process is fairly easy but, also oomplex and should be handled by an attorney as the assets are to be return to their original state.

Revocable means just that it is able to be altered, changed or dissolved until the time of the person's death. After death you may not alter the trust and then it is irrevocable. Have formal papers notarized before a death occurs with any changes for legal proof in the courts.
