Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Trust and Trustees Act. Defines terms. Provides that an "unascertainable beneficiary" may be represented by and bound by another beneficiary having a substantially similar (instead of a substantially identical) interest on a particular question or dispute. Provides that if a trust beneficiary is an unrepresented minor or a disabled person, a parent of the beneficiary may represent and bind the beneficiary, provided that there is no material conflict of interest between the minor or disabled person and either of that person's parents on that particular question or dispute. Further provides that this representative may on a particular question or dispute represent and bind an unborn beneficiary or an unascertainable beneficiary who has an interest that is substantially similar to the interest of the minor or disabled person, but only if there is no material conflict of interest between the minor or the disabled person and the unborn or the unascertainable person. Makes other corresponding changes. Provides that conversion of a trust to a total return trust may be made with a trustee and all primary beneficiaries (instead of with a trustee and all beneficiaries and presumptive remaindermen beneficiaries) in accordance with other provisions of the Act. Provides that changes made apply to all trusts in existence on the effective date and to all trusts created after that date. Effective immediately.
