Generally

W.D.Wash.Bkrtcy.Ct.2017. Cit. generally   in sup. In an action brought by trustee of Chapter 7
debtor/nonprofit charity to allow state attorney general's partial claim against debtor for breach of
fiduciary duty, this court granted partial summary judgment for trustee, holding that the donated funds at
issue were held in trust for public charitable purpose with debtor as trustee, and remanded for an
evidentiary hearing as to whether debtor's conduct violated its fiduciary duty and whether board
member  was  a trustee. The court noted that Washington courts looked to the Restatement Second of
Trusts as persuasive authority. In re Breast Cancer Prevention Fund, 574 B.R. 193, 216, 218.



                       CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS

                                     TOPIC   1. DEFINITIONS

§ 1. Scope of the Restatement

C.A.2, 2017. Com.  (b) quot. in case quot. in ftn. Two irrevocable trusts, along with contingent
beneficiary of those trusts as well as two revocable trusts established by the same settlor, brought claims
for breach of fiduciary duty against the revocable trusts and their trustee. The district court granted
defendants' motion to dismiss, finding that plaintiffs failed to demonstrate complete diversity of
citizenship for purposes of subject-matter jurisdiction. This court vacated and remanded for further
proceedings, explaining that diversity was determined based on the citizenship of the trustees, rather
than the beneficiaries, because the trusts were not organized according to state law as distinct juridical
entities, but, rather, as traditional trusts that established only fiduciary relationships and were incapable
of being haled into court except through their trustees. The court noted that business trusts were viewed
differently from traditional common-law trusts under Restatement Second of Trusts § 1. Raymond
Loubier Irrevocable Trust v. Loubier, 858 F.3d 719, 726.

§ 2. Definition of Trust

C.A.2, 2017. Cit. in sup., cit. and quot. in ftn. Two irrevocable trusts, along with contingent beneficiary
of those trusts as well as two revocable trusts established by the same settlor, brought claims for breach
of fiduciary duty against the revocable trusts and their trustee. The district court granted defendants'
motion to dismiss, finding that plaintiffs failed to demonstrate complete diversity of citizenship for
purposes of subject-matter jurisdiction. This court vacated and remanded for further proceedings,
explaining that diversity was determined based on the citizenship of the trustees, rather than the
beneficiaries, because the trusts were not organized according to state law as distinct juridical entities,
but, rather, as traditional trusts that established only fiduciary relationships and were incapable of being
