To revoke a Delaware revocable living trust, you’ll need to follow a specific process outlined in the trust document itself.

Generally, this involves:

  • Signing a trust revocation declaration and delivering it to the trustee.
  • Transferring the trust assets back to the grantor (you).
  • Defunding the trust and transferring titles on any assets currently held within it.

Here is the Delaware Attorney Referral Service where you can find a qualified local attorney to help you complete the process:
