Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

In Nevada, if a trust has been prepared and signed by the trustee (not reviewed) and later find it was not what they intended, and go back to the attorney and tell them to make additional changes but dies before anything is done ( a year later) Is this not a mistake on the part of the attorney - not making the changes immediately and sending the changes to the trustee? I should mention the trustee was in her 80's

The issue is when did you discover the mistake. There is a two year statute of limitations. The attorney will also say that since you had a year to make the changes, you waived the right. Attorney malpractice is expenses $15,000 at least deposit to file a lawsuit.
