This is an unusual case and it's been tough to find answers. I am a trustee on a buddy's trust but he's looking forward to moving to a restricted state for a career. He wants to hand over all the items to me and we agree I should be the grantor to modify the trust as I want in future. I just want to the ability to amend the trust if I need to add or remove trustees without him having to worry about it. I'm leaving him as a trustee in case he wants to come back and use them.
Can I generate an amendment to change him to a trustee(among others) and myself into the grantor? Is that legally accepted By the ATF? Does changing the original grantor/settlor nullify the trust? Has anyone made this change?Thanks in advance.
