If you have an irrevocable trust, it is extremely difficult to make changes to it because the trust was set up to be permanent and not alterable. Most people, however, create a revocable living trust. A living revocable trust is designed to be flexible so you can make any change you want to it.
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.
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.
A revocable trust can be modified while the Grantor is alive. Revising the terms of a trust is known as amending the trust. An amendment is generally appropriate when there are only a few minor changes to make, like rewording a certain paragraph, changing the successor trustee, or modifying beneficiaries.
An amendment is a formal document making a change to one or multiple parts of a Revocable Living Trust. A codicil is a formal document making a change to one or multiple parts of a Last Will and Testament.

While the chances of successfully contesting a trust are not very high, working with a trust contest lawyer to build a strong case can greatly improve your odds.
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.
The answer to this question is generally no, although there are certain rare exceptions that could allow the trustee to remove or change a trust beneficiary, or withhold their distribution.
