With the death of my parents, an irrevocable inheritance trust has been in place, one which was not contested in the 120-day period. I just received the notice of trust termination. This document asks for signatures of the beneficiaries "so that the funds may be distributed." My question is: in a circumstance like this, has the trust been officially terminated by the trustee (is it a done deal?), or does it still require all signatures in order to be terminated? I ask because I've been considering possible petitions to amend - allowed under provisions of the California Probate (section 15403) - and if the trust is still "living" I want to hold off signing it and contact the other beneficiaries to possibly petition for amendment. Thank you very much.
