ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

ANSWER BY MARGARET CROSS-BELIVEAU:
The revocable trust because irrevocable upon your mother’s passing. There is no changing it now. A one letter difference in a name is not a fatal error. It is called a scrivnor’s error. The Trustee will have no problem distributing your inheritance to you.
