Compensation · 6 min de lectura
The standard
MCL 700.7708(1) provides that where the trust's terms do not specify the trustee's compensation, the trustee is entitled to compensation that is reasonable under the circumstances. Where the terms do specify it, the trustee is compensated as specified, but the court may allow more or less if the duties are substantially different from those contemplated when the trust was created, or the specified compensation would be unreasonably low or high (MCL 700.7708(2)).
Notice and the report
A trustee notifies the qualified trust beneficiaries in advance of any change in the method or rate of the trustee's compensation (MCL 700.7814(2)(d)), and the annual report states the source and amount of the trustee's compensation (MCL 700.7814(3)). A trustee paid by an affiliated investment company discloses the rate and method of that compensation at least annually (MCL 700.7802(5)).
Reimbursement
A trustee is entitled to be reimbursed from the trust property, with interest as appropriate, for expenses properly incurred in the administration (MCL 700.7709). Paying the trustee's compensation and the expenses of administration is among the trustee's specific powers (MCL 700.7817(s)).
When compensation is questioned
Among the remedies for a breach of trust, the court may reduce or deny compensation (MCL 700.7901). A self-interested transaction is governed by the duty of loyalty (MCL 700.7802). A licensed Michigan attorney of your choosing can advise on a fee that is unusual for the trust's size or the work.
