Navigating The Complexities Of The Uniform Trust Code

The Massachusetts Uniform Trust Code (G.L. c. 203E) became effective July 8, 2012, and most of its provisions are applicable to express common law trusts of a donative nature, including revocable trusts or inter vivos trusts used in estate planning, that were created before and after the Trust Code’s effective date. There are default rules that must be used when a trust is silent, the mandatory rules that trump trust provisions. There are rules that govern the duties and powers of trustees, as well as the rights and interests of beneficiaries. In creating and administering a trust, it is important to know what the law requires.

It is important to work with an experienced attorney to represent you and your loved ones throughout the process of estate planning and, if necessary, through any issues with trust and estate administration after death.
