The client just noticed it a couple of days ago. The name of one of the trustees/beneficiaries was misspelled in one spot (naturally, it’s in the designation of trustee). I’d like to correct it to avoid any hassles with financial institutions in the future. Client and trustee are able to execute a new amendment with the right spelling. Is there any reason not to simply shred the original amendment and call the new one “first amendment”, or is it better to retain the original first amendment and call the corrected version “second”? As I said, weeds….<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Susan E.
