Trust Restatement & Amendments Attorney in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Trust Restatement & Trust Amendment Lawyer
Sean M. Tanko Law provides trust restatement and trust amendment services in Las Vegas for individuals and families looking to update or modify existing estate plans.
Life changes such as marriage, divorce, new children, business ownership, retirement, property purchases, or financial changes may require updates to your trust documents. A properly updated trust can help ensure your estate plan continues to reflect your wishes while protecting your family and assets.
What Is a Trust Amendment?
A trust amendment allows you to make limited changes to an existing revocable living trust without replacing the entire document.
Common trust amendments may include:
- Adding or removing beneficiaries
- Updating trustees or successor trustees
- Changing asset distribution instructions
- Updating guardianship provisions
- Revising inheritance percentages
- Address changes or legal name updates
Trust amendments are often appropriate when only a few provisions need to be updated.
What Is a Trust Restatement?
A trust restatement replaces the terms of your existing trust while keeping the original trust name and date intact.
Trust restatements may be beneficial when:
- Major life changes occur
- Multiple amendments already exist
- Significant financial changes happen
- Estate planning goals evolve
- Tax or legal strategies need updating
Rather than creating an entirely new trust, a restatement allows you to modernize your estate plan while preserving ownership and trust structure continuity.
Keep Your Estate Plan Current
An outdated trust may no longer reflect your current wishes or family circumstances. Regular estate plan reviews can help ensure:
- Beneficiaries remain updated
- Asset protection goals are maintained
- Probate risks are minimized
- Trustees and powers of attorney remain appropriate
- Your estate plan aligns with Nevada law
Sean M. Tanko Law works closely with clients to review existing estate plans and recommend the right updates based on their goals.

“Sean is not your typical attorney. He is down to earth and a great communicator. I was able to leave my father with him so that he could ask him all the questions he needed to understand my father’s wishes for his estate. Sean is kind and patient and a great listener. I trust him implicitly, as does my father. I’ve been very protective of my parents as they aged. With Sean, you never have to worry. He always has the clients’ best interests at heart!”
