                                         TRUSTS 2D





                          CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS

                                        TOPIC   1. DEFINITIONS

    § 2. Definition of Trust

    N.D.Cal.Bkrtcy.Ct.2015.  Quot. in sup. Board of trustees of employee-benefit trust funds brought an
    adversary proceeding against Chapter 7 debtors, who were employer's office manager and sole
    proprietor, seeking to except from discharge under the Bankruptcy Code debts for unpaid contributions
    to the funds as debts incurred due to fraud or defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity. This court
    entered judgment for debtors, holding that the debts were not excepted from discharge for defalcation.
    Citing Restatement Second of Trusts § 2 for the definition of a trust, the court determined that
    defendants were not fiduciaries of the employee-benefit plans with respect to any plan assets, because
    plaintiff failed to establish that an express trust existed. In re Quinones, 537 B.R. 942, 947.

    § 4. Terms of the Trust

    Tenn.App.2015.  Cit. in sup.; com. (a) quot. in sup. Beneficiary of an irrevocable trust created by
    himself and his father brought a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against trustees of the trusts, alleging
    that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to pay him all of the distributions to which he
    was entitled. The trial court granted summary judgment for defendants. Affirming, this court held that
    plaintiff was not entitled to a share of the trusts' capital gains under a provision of the trust agreements
    providing that he was entitled to a percentage of the trusts' net annual income. The court rejected
    plaintiff's argument that his affidavit regarding his subjective intention could be used to alter or vary the
    written terms of the trust, noting that, under Restatement Second of Trusts § 4, the manifestation of
    intention of the settlor was the external expression of the settlor's intention, as distinguished from his or
    her undisclosed intention, and that, here, the written trust agreement used the term net income, which,
    when interpreted under the controlling Tennessee law, did not include capital gains. Cartwright v.
    Jackson Capital Partners, Limited Partnership, 478 S.W.3d 596, 626.



                                       TOPIC   2. DISTINCTIONS

    § 11. Trust and Condition

    Ky.App.2015.  Cit. in ftn. City brought an action to quiet title to land that grantors had dedicated to city
    under the condition that the land remain parkland or revert to grantors' heirs, seeking to abolish the
    condition and right of reversion. After heirs failed to respond, intervenors counterclaimed, alleging that
    the deed created a charitable trust for the benefit of the public. The trial court found that city held the
    land in fee simple absolute, that the land remained subject to the restrictions contained in the deed, and
