Revocation or amendment of revocable trusts

Section 564-B:6-602 lets a settlor revoke or amend a revocable trust unless the trust expressly makes itself irrevocable, and a beneficiary-revocation method does not displace that default.

White v Gordon · filed 2016-09-27N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 564-B:6-602(c)
