Michelle decided she wanted some changes to her trust. She penciled (not pen, pencil) in some changes she wanted. When she went to a new bank to open an account, the bank would not accept the original with hand written changes on it.
No. Do not write on the originals. Make a copy, write your changes in, then visit your attorney to make the changes official.
Wills are particularly sensitive to being written on. It can be argued that it is evidence that a person wants to destroy the will.
Some banks will not accept a trust or power of attorney with hand written changes.
