Description

A provision of an instrument of trust reserving to the settlor the right to amend the trust by an "acknowledged" writing meant
that the settlor must acknowledge the writing before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of other writings. Under an instrument of trust reserving to the settlor the right to amend the trust by an acknowledged writing delivered to
the trustees and effective only when consented to by them, the requirement of acknowledgment was not wholly for the benefit
of the trustees and could not be waived by them, so that purported amendments not acknowledged by the settlor were invalid
although accepted by the trustees.
