A: It depends! If you merely amend that distribution section to eliminate him from your trust, then by law he will be entitled to a copy of both the original trust and the amendment. However, to avoid this scenario, we often counsel clients in similar situations to “restate” their trust entirely, which means that your nephew will not be entitled to ANY copies of your trust or estate planning documents upon your death, and he will therefore never know about being taken out. This decreases the likelihood that your other beneficiaries will face any disputes, claims or lawsuits from the nephew!
