Reformation or Modification of Trusts

By Kent Berk on June 22nd, 2017 in

What happens if a trust doesn’t reflect what the person who created it truly intended? Can it be changed — even if the language is clear?

In this episode of The Berk Brief, Kent Berk, attorney at Berk Law Group in Scottsdale, Arizona, explains how a trust can be reformed under Arizona law when it contains a mistake of law or fact.

Kent discusses:
✅ When a trust can be reformed or amended even if it appears unambiguous
✅ What evidence is required — the “clear and convincing” standard
✅ How Arizona law focuses on the true intent of the settlor (trust creator)
✅ Examples of situations where reformation may be appropriate

If a trust or will doesn’t reflect your loved one’s true wishes, you may have legal options to reform or correct the document. Our team at Berk Law Group can help evaluate your situation and guide you through the process.
