The changes to a Living Trust are known as known as an Amendment and can be found in sections 15400-15414 of the probate code. It has to be prepared and executed in the same manner as the Trust. You need to list the changes specifically, in the same number as the original Trust Provisions. It has to be notarized. I would strongly suggest you call around to lawyers and ask what an Amendment would cost. Good luck.
