What about creating a new Trust?
You can create a Revocable Living Trust through FastWill, even if you already have another Trust. Please note that creating a new Trust does not automatically replace or eliminate your existing Trust. You can have two separate Trusts if you wish.
Can I terminate or replace my old Trust?
Terminating a Revocable Trust: If your old Trust allows it, you can terminate or revoke it to keep only the new Trust. This process involves transferring assets from the old Trust to the new one.
Handling an Irrevocable Trust: If the assets are in an Irrevocable Trust, transferring them can be more complicated and may require additional legal steps. Please note that FastWill does not offer Irrevocable Trusts or updates to Irrevocable Trusts.
