Section 59-16.1-05 - Authorized trustee without unlimited discretion1. An authorized trustee with the power to invade trust principal but without unlimited discretion may appoint part or all of the principal of the trust to a trustee of an appointed trust, provided that the current beneficiaries of the appointed trust must be the same as the current beneficiaries of the invaded trust and the successor and remainder beneficiaries must be the same as the successor and remainder beneficiaries of the invaded trust.2. If the authorized trustee exercises the power under this section, the appointed trust must include the same language authorizing the trustee to distribute the income or invade the principal of the appointed trust as in the invaded trust.3. If the authorized trustee exercises the power under this section to extend the term of the appointed trust beyond the term of the invaded trust, then for any period after the invaded trust would have otherwise terminated under the provisions of the invaded trust, then the appointed trust, in addition to the language required to be included in the appointed trust pursuant to subsection 2 of section 59-16.1-05, also may include language providing the trustee with unlimited discretion to invade the principal of the appointed trust during this extended term.4. If the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the invaded trust are described by a class, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the appointed trust shall include present or future members of the class.5. If the authorized trustee exercises the power under this section and if the invaded trust grants a power of appointment to a beneficiary of the trust, the appointed trust shall grant the power of appointment in the appointed trust and the class of permissible appointees must be the same as in the invaded trust.Added by S.L. 2017, ch. 416 (HB 1228),§ 8, eff. 8/1/2017.
