1. A court of this state having jurisdiction over any trust to which NRS 163.420 to 163.550, inclusive, apply may amend any trust instrument to conform to the provisions of NRS 163.420 to 163.550, inclusive.
2. Any such amendment must be effected by the trustee filing a petition with the court. The clerk of the court shall set a date for the hearing of the petition, and the trustee shall cause notice of the hearing of the petition to be:
(a) Personally served on the settlor or settlors of the trust, if living, and on all named beneficiaries of the trust, if any, for the period and in the manner provided in NRS 155.010;
(b) Published on three dates of publication before the hearing, and if the newspaper is published more than once each week, there must be at least 10 days from the first to last date of publication, including both the first and the last days; and
(c) Delivered, together with a copy of the petition, to the Attorney General of the State of Nevada at the time of the filing of the petition.
3. At the hearing of the petition, the court may authorize the trustee to amend, revise, delete or add provisions to the trust instrument to conform to NRS 163.420 to 163.550, inclusive, to avoid the penalties and liabilities described in Sections 4941(a), 4942(a), 4943(a), 4944(a) and 4945(a), but if the settlor or settlors of the trust are living and competent to act, written consent of the settlor or settlors must first be obtained.
