[WSBARP] common law authority (non-TEDRA) to modify trust if all parties agree

[Carl L. Gay]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I seem to recall older case law (pre-TEDRA) which permitted a trust document
to be modified following the trust creator’s death if the trustee and
beneficiary(s) were in full agreement on the modification.  I reviewed
Professor Boxx’s law review article on recent trust law legislation but
failed to find any commentary on this issue.  Perhaps one of you has at your
fingertips such common law authority.  If so, I would greatly appreciate it
if you would share it with me.  Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,

Carl Gay
