I obtained an EIN for a irrevocable trust before the attorney told us that was the wrong name. The bank wants me to change the name on the SS4. I do not remember how all of this came up but how do I do this?

Write a letter to the IRS and tell them there was an error on the SS-4. Since it's the name, I think it would be good to include an official document (like the first page of the trust document) that shows the legal name.

Do I need to have the Trustee fill out a form 56 or a 2848 along with the letter?

The trustee should have been the Responsible Party listed on the SS-4. The trustee can sign the letter. No 56 or 2848 needed for that.
