The name of the Trust is The William A Portnoy Revocable Living Trust and NYS says there are too many Characters in the name. How do I shrink the name? How many Characters are allowed in the name?

Sometims the error it gives tells you how many characters are allowed, Id go back to the fed and shorten Revocable to Rev Living to Liv and Trust to Tr and see if that squeaks by.

Start by dropping "The"

Doesn't the diagnostic tell you how many characters are allowed?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

That field is limited to 37 characters. Hope that helps!
