CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS
TOPIC 1. DEFINITIONS
§ 3. Settlor, Trust Property, Trustee and Beneficiary
D.D.C.2021. Quot. in sup., cit. in case cit. in sup. Purported trust beneficiaries sued successor-in-interest
of communications company, humanitarian research foundation, and affiliated entity, alleging that
defendants, as trustees of a charitable trust created to provide legal assistance to Chinese citizens who
were incarcerated for expressing their views on the internet, violated their fiduciary duties by using trust
assets as their personal funds or failing to monitor such activity. On remand, this court denied in part
defendants' motion to dismiss, holding, inter alia, that plaintiffs adequately alleged that defendants were
trustees of the trust. Citing Restatement Second of Trusts § 3, the court explained that, according to the
settlement agreement that created the trust, foundation was clearly designated as the trustee, because it
directed settlor to make payments to foundation subject to conditions, it stated that the payments were to
be maintained separately from foundation's personal assets, and it specified that the payments were
made in trust. He Depu v. Oath Holdings, Inc., 531 F.Supp.3d 219, 238.
CHAPTER 2. THE CREATION OF A TRUST
TOPIC 3. THE INTENTION TO CREATE A TRUST
§ 26. No Intention to Create a Present Trust
Conn.2022. Cit. in case cit. in sup. Co-conservator brought a declaratory action against former
conservator and protector of conservatee's irrevocable trust, alleging that the irrevocable trust should be
rendered null and void. The trial court granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. The court of
appeals affirmed. This court affirmed, holding that conservatee lacked the legal authority to create and
fund the irrevocable trust, because former conservator had exclusive control over her conservatorship
estate at the time it was created, and former conservator failed to obtain permission from the probate
court to fund the irrevocable trust out of conservatee's beneficiary interest in a revocable trust. The court
noted that defendants failed to preserve for review whether conservatee had the testamentary capacity to
create the irrevocable trust, and pointed out that even if conservatee had the capacity to do so, the trust
could not have been testamentary under Restatement Second of Trusts § 26, because it was inter vivos.
