It is my practice, and that of many estate planning attorneys, that a trust be witnessed by two persons that are unrelated by blood or marriage to the grantor, as well as being notarized. If the orginial trust was witnessed by two people and notarized, I would follow that and have the amendment witnessed as notarized as well.
