Made original over 20 yrs ago. Everything has changed. It is the exact opposite of what hubby and I want now. Trying to figure out a trust so that kids and grandkids get so much each yr, not in a lump sum. No one is good with money

The standard will has as its first line that all prior wills are revoked, so just do a new will.  You can revoke a will by destroying it or marking it revoked, but this is not required if you make a new will.
