Joint Revocation Power
Husband and Wife created a joint revocable trust reserving to themselves the power to revoke and stating that a sale or other disposition of the trust property “by us” would be a revocation.
A divided appellate court held that Husband, as the sole surviving trustee, had the power to convey trust property and thus revoke the trust.
