Строки довірчого власника у Теннессі: що передбачають закони
Звірено із законами Теннессі 2026-10-28. Загальна інформація, не юридична консультація; офіційний текст має пріоритет.
| Коли | Строк | Що передбачає закон | Кому | Стаття |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| You are named trustee and act on it | No day-count. Acceptance is by the instrument's method or by conduct; the initial notice runs from the later of it and the funding. | Accept by substantially complying with a method of acceptance the terms of the trust provide or, where they provide none or the method is not expressly exclusive, by accepting delivery of the trust property, exercising powers or performing duties as trustee, or otherwise indicating acceptance. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-701(a) ↗ |
| You are named trustee and do not want the office | A designee who does not accept within a reasonable time after knowing of the designation and the assets is deemed to have rejected it. | A designee who has not accepted may reject; without accepting, a designee may act to preserve the trust property if a rejection is sent within a reasonable time to the settlor or, where the settlor is dead or lacks capacity, to a qualified beneficiary, and may inspect the property for environmental or other liability. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-701(b), (c) ↗ |
| You will serve as trustee and you are not a Tennessee resident | Before acting as trustee. | A nonresident individual may serve as trustee; before acting, the fiduciary files with the Secretary of State a writing appointing the Secretary of State as agent for service of process, identifying the trust and stating the fiduciary's street address, with the $10 filing fee. | The Secretary of State | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-50-107(b)(2) ↗ |
| You accept | At once and throughout; no day-count. | Administer the trust in good faith, in accordance with its terms and purposes and the interests of the beneficiaries; solely in the beneficiaries' interests (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-802(a)) and impartially among them (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-803). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-801 ↗ |
| You accept | No day-count; reasonable steps, promptly. | Take reasonable steps to take control of and protect the trust property; keep adequate records, keep the property separate and have it designated as the trust's in third-party records (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-810); compel a former trustee to deliver property and redress a known breach (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-812). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-809 ↗ |
| You accept, or the trust receives assets | Within a reasonable time; no day-count. | Review the trust assets and make and implement decisions about their retention and disposition, to bring the portfolio into compliance with the trust's purposes, terms, distribution requirements and other circumstances — the prudent investor rule, unless the terms provide otherwise (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-14-103). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-14-106 ↗ |
| The trust is irrevocable or nongrantor, you have accepted, and the trust has been funded beyond a nominal corpus | Within 60 days after the acceptance and the funding of the trust — the later of the two. | Notify the recipients that the trust has been established — nominal funding for the trust to have corpus and the depositing of insurance policies on the life of a living person excluded. A default rule the terms, or a written direction of a living settlor, trust advisor or trust protector, may change (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(e)); not for a trust irrevocable before July 1, 2004 ((f)). | Each current income beneficiary, each vested ultimate beneficiary of a remainder interest and anyone who, in a capacity other than that of a fiduciary, holds a power of appointment (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(b)(1)) — or the representative of one (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-301); never an ultimate beneficiary who takes only if every other beneficiary fails (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-103(25)(D)). | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(b)(1) ↗ |
| You send the initial notice | With the notice. | Either a complete copy of the document establishing the trust together with the trustee's name, address and telephone number, or an abstract — in the trustee's absolute discretion. The abstract contains each trustee's name, address and telephone number; for a current income beneficiary, the number of other current income beneficiaries, whether income distributions are required or discretionary, whether principal may be distributed and for what purposes, and estimates of the trust's distributable value and of the beneficiary's distributable income; for a remainder beneficiary, the number of other remainder beneficiaries, an estimate of the trust's value and the conditions to distribution; for a power holder, the information necessary or beneficial to deciding whether to exercise the power. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(b)(2), (3) ↗ |
| You send the initial notice | By the statute's two methods. | The notice is sent by first-class mail or personal delivery. The general methods of notice — a properly directed electronic message and electronic provision with consent in a record among them — are Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-109(a)(2)'s for other notices. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(b)(2)(A) ↗ |
| A current income interest terminates | The same notice, to the persons who then take; no day-count stated. | On the termination of a current income interest, the trustee gives the notice of subsection (b) to the beneficiaries who take. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(c) ↗ |
| You administer the trust | Throughout; no periodic report is required by statute. | Keep the beneficiaries who are current mandatory or permissible distributees of trust income or principal reasonably informed about the administration of the trust and of the material facts necessary for them to protect their interests; a separate share's trustee informs that share's beneficiaries. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(a)(1) ↗ |
| A qualified beneficiary, or a nonfiduciary power holder, asks for information related to the administration | Within a reasonable amount of time, unless unreasonable under the circumstances. | Respond to the request; the qualified beneficiary reimburses the trustee's reasonable expenses of responding. The trustee may require a confidentiality agreement before releasing information about a restricted asset ((g)). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(a)(2), (3) ↗ |
| A beneficiary waives a report or information | Effective until withdrawn as to the future. | Any beneficiary may waive the right to a report or other information and may withdraw the waiver with respect to future reports or information; a nonfiduciary power holder the same. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(d) ↗ |
| The terms of the trust, or a living settlor, trust advisor or trust protector, change the information duties | As the terms or the written direction provide; a settlor's direction ends at the settlor's death or incapacity. | The duties of the section are default rules: the terms, or a written direction delivered to the trustee, may change them, and the settlor may designate a representative to receive the reports and information in a beneficiary's place. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-813(e) ↗ |
| The trust is revocable and the settlor has capacity | While both are so. | The rights of the beneficiaries are subject to the settlor's control, and the duties of the trustee are owed exclusively to the settlor; the trustee may follow the settlor's direction contrary to the terms (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-808(a)); the settlor may remove and appoint trustees by written notice (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-606). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-603(a) ↗ |
| A person other than a beneficiary asks for the trust instrument | No day-count; in place of the instrument. | Furnish a certification of trust signed by the trustees with signatory authority and attested by a notary public, with the nine items the statute lists — the trust's identification number only if essential to the transaction — and the statement that the trust has not been revoked, modified or amended in a manner that would make the representations incorrect; the trustee may provide copies of all or part of the instrument, and a third party may ask for additional information to clarify an ambiguity before contracting. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-1013 ↗ |
| The settlor of a trust revocable at the death dies | Two years after the death — or 120 days after the trustee sends a person a copy of the instrument and the statutory notice, whichever is earlier for that person. | A person commences a judicial proceeding to contest the validity of the trust within the earlier of the two; the notice informs the person of the trust's existence, of the trustee's name and address, and of the time allowed. The trustee may distribute after the death, but is not protected where a contest is pending or a potential contestant's notice is followed by a proceeding within 60 days ((b)). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-604(a) ↗ |
| The settlor dies — a trust revocable at the death | No trustee's clock: the trust answers for the claims the estate's bars leave open. | After the death, and subject to the settlor's right to direct the source of payment, the property of a trust that was revocable at the death is subject to the claims of the settlor's creditors, the costs of administration of the estate and the expenses of the funeral and disposal of remains; a claim barred against the estate is barred against the trust, its trustee and its beneficiaries. Tennessee gives a trustee no publication of its own. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-505(a)(6) ↗ |
| The settlor dies — whether or not an estate is opened | Twelve months after the death, taxes excepted. | All claims against the decedent are barred twelve months from the date of death, whether or not notice to creditors was published; the Bureau of TennCare's claim has its own windows ((c)): with a notice received within twelve months of the death, the later of twelve months from the death or four months from the receipt; without one, 48 months from the death. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 30-2-310(a), (b) ↗ |
| You take a fee | Before any fee is taken; no day-count. | Compensation as the terms specify, with the court's power to allow more or less, or reasonable compensation under the circumstances unless a living settlor or a majority of the qualified beneficiaries agreed otherwise; a regulated institution's published schedule is presumed reasonable; expenses properly incurred are reimbursed with interest (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-709). | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-708 ↗ |
| You decide to resign | At least 30 days' notice, or the court's approval. | Resign on at least 30 days' notice to the qualified beneficiaries, the settlor if living, and all cotrustees, or with the court's approval; resignation does not discharge liability for acts or omissions (Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-705(c)). | The qualified beneficiaries, the settlor if living, and all cotrustees | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-705(a) ↗ |
| You have resigned or been removed | Within a reasonable time; the duties continue until delivery. | Unless a cotrustee remains or the court orders otherwise, a trustee who has resigned or been removed keeps the duties of a trustee and the powers necessary to protect the trust property until it is delivered to a successor or other person entitled to it, and delivers it within a reasonable time. | — | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-707 ↗ |
| A trustee resigns or is removed without a court proceeding, and real estate is trust property | The departing trustee records; if not within 30 days, the successor or remaining trustee records. | Record in the office of the register of deeds of each county where trust real estate lies an instrument reciting the resignation or removal, the name and address of the successor or remaining trustee and each parcel; a court's order of resignation, removal or appointment, or an acknowledged memorandum of it, is recorded the same way ((a)). | The register of deeds of each county where trust real estate lies | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-1-101(b) ↗ |
| You propose to move the trust's principal place of administration | Notice not less than 60 days before the transfer, with an objection date not less than 60 days after the notice. | Notify the qualified beneficiaries of the proposed transfer, the new jurisdiction, the trustee's new address and telephone number, the reasons, the anticipated date and the objection date; an objection by a majority of the qualified beneficiaries ends the authority to transfer. | The qualified beneficiaries | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-108(e), (f) ↗ |
| The trustee and all qualified beneficiaries propose to modify or terminate the trust during the settlor's life | Notice to the settlor not less than 60 days before. | The settlor receives notice of the proposed modification or termination, its reasons, the anticipated date and an objection date not less than 60 days after the notice; after the settlor's death the trustee and the qualified beneficiaries may agree, or the court may act with the dissenter protected ((b), (c)). | The settlor | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-411(a) ↗ |
| The trust's property is less than $250,000, or the trustee's scheduled fee reaches the statute's percentage | After notice to the qualified beneficiaries; no day-count stated. | The trustee may terminate the trust where the value of the property is insufficient to justify the cost of administration, after notice to the qualified beneficiaries; the court may modify or terminate it, or remove the trustee and appoint another, on the same ground ((b)). | The qualified beneficiaries | Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-15-414(a) ↗ |
