What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
My father is in Hospice care. My mother who has been diagnosed with early dementia continually threatens my father saying she is going to change the Family Trust to exclude his older daughter who is his caregiver. Is changing a Trust easily done? For any reason? Can a Trust be made Null and Void?

a trust can always have specific language.

if you can get a copy of this trust, there should be specific details about both revocation and amendment of the trust.

so using the above disclaimer - generally speaking, in a trust between spouses, either spouse can revoke the trust, but it takes both spouses to amend/change the trust.

if she were to revoke the trust, then the assets would be part of their respective estates, and dealt with accordingly.
