Product Description
Product Description

All the essential issues in Massachusetts trust law and practice can be found in this book, including formation of the trust; duties, powers, and liabilities of trustees; responsibilities for various types of trust investments, including guidance on the Massachusetts Prudent Investor Act; distribution, funding, and accounting issues; duties relating to income tax and GST tax; obtaining the court's assistance with trust administration; administration of charitable trusts; and trust termination.

Two critical areas of trust-related law practice are explored in detail: lawyers acting as trustees and lawyers representing trustees. A number of difficult regulatory and ethical issues are raised by these types of practice, and Understanding and Using Trusts explores these issues in depth. Practice notes are included throughout the book on best practices to adopt and potential pitfalls to avoid when exercising trustee powers and advising clients.

Recent updates:
- Update: October 2024
  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for choosing to stay current with developments in the law of trusts, with this 2024 edition of Understanding and Using Trusts . Inside, you will find new material on such topics as these:
  - Liability to beneficiaries. See chapter 6 for a new practice note on Section 1001 of the report of the Ad Hoc Massachusetts Uniform Trust Code Committee.
  - Corporate notices and actions. See chapter 8 for discussion of the federal Corporate Transparency Act and the trustee’s responsibilities to report beneficial owners.
  - Allocation of income. In chapter 11, see new guidance on dividing the trust assets between the marital and nonmarital shares. The chapter cites a 2023 Massachusetts Appeals Court decision to affirm a lower court decision to, among other things, classify a spouse's beneficial interest in an irrevocable trust as part of the marital estate for the purposes of equitable distribution in a divorce.
  - Accounting requirements; probate trusts. See chapter 13, citing a 2023 Appeals Court decision on whether a remainder beneficiary is a qualified beneficiary, thereby entitled to receiving an accounting under MUTC § 813(c) until the event triggering the termination of the trust occurs.
  We at MCLE trust that you will find this material useful in your law practice and valuable in keeping your law library current.
  
  Cordially,
