                       CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS

                                    TOPIC   1. DEFINITIONS

§ 1. Scope of the Restatement

D.Colo.Bkrtcy.Ct.2022.  Com.  (b) cit. in disc. After spendthrift trust filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
relief, secured creditor filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that debtor was not eligible for federal
bankruptcy relief. This court granted secured creditor's motion to dismiss, holding that debtor was not a
business trust such that it qualified for Chapter 11 relief, because the terms of the trust agreement
creating debtor made no mention of business activities, and debtor's sole activity was maintaining a
residential home for trust beneficiaries to live in without paying rent and taxes, which did not constitute
a business purpose. In defining the term business trust for bankruptcy purposes, the court observed
that Restatement of Trusts § 1, Restatement Second of Trusts § 1, and Restatement Third of Trusts § 1
declined to discuss business trusts in the greater context of trust law. In re Quadruple D Trust, 639 B.R.
204, 228.



                    CHAPTER 7. THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST

                               TOPIC   1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

§ 167. Change  of Circumstances

Tex.2022. Cit. in case cit. in sup. After trustee of spendthrift trust brought an action for trust
modification against cotrustee, cotrustee counterclaimed, alleging that plaintiff breached trust duties by
failing to include defendant in trust decisions, because trust terms required unanimity among trustees
when  administering the trust, and seeking a jury trial to determine whether trust modification was
appropriate. The trial court, among other things, denied defendant's request for a jury trial. The court of
appeals reversed and remanded. This court reversed and remanded, holding that defendant was not
entitled to a jury trial. The court observed that the relevant trust-modification statutes incorporated
Restatement of Trusts § 167, which made no mention of a right to a jury trial during a petition to modify
trust terms. Matter of Troy S. Poe Trust, 646 S.W.3d 771, 776.
