A simple amendment does not alter that schedule (unless that is required.) A restatement requires a new Schedule A and, depending on the terms of the Restatement, may require contact with a financial institution or recorder to so reflect.
This amendment should state that the new trustee is being added to the trust and should specify their powers and duties. It is also a good idea to have the amendment signed by the grantor (the person who created the trust) and the new trustee.
When you write the change you are making, be sure to refer to the original trust document by paragraph number so it is clear what provision you are changing. Be very clear about how you are changing this section of the trust. Make sure you state you are amending this section of the trust.
Its important to know what you want to change and where in your trust document this information lives (such as the article number youre amending). Fill out the amendment form. Complete the entire form. Its important to be clear and detailed in describing your changes.
While the California Probate Code does not explicitly require notarization for all trust amendments, it does stipulate how a trust can be amended or revoked in Section 15402, stating that if the trust document provides a method for amendment or revocation, that method must be followed.

Related Q&A to Trust Amendment Document

A trust amendment must be properly executed in order to be valid. This means that the amendment must be signed and witnessed by the trustor (the person who created the trust). You should consult with an estate planning attorney to ensure that the amendment is properly executed.
Amending a revocable trust, however, requires at most a docHubd signature. There is often no need for you to sign a trust amendment in your attorneys office. As more people are living longer, the need to plan for incapacity is more important than ever.
