                                     TRUSTS 3D



              PART  1. NATURE, CHARACTERISTICS, AND TYPES OF TRUSTS

                      CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS

§ 2. Definition of Trust

N.M.App.2018.   Com. (a) cit. in disc.; com. (d) quot. in disc. In a divorce action, the trial court entered
judgment for wife, finding, inter alia, that wife had a community-lien interest in the assets of an
irrevocable life-insurance trust set up by husband before they married, and that wife was entitled to a
share of the trust property. This court reversed in part, holding that the trust property did not constitute
community  property or even husband's property. Citing Restatement Third of Trusts § 2, Comments a
and d, the court noted that, generally, a trustee held legal title to trust property and a beneficiary held
equitable title to trust property, and explained that, here, the trust was irrevocable, husband was not a
trustee or a beneficiary and did not have property interest in the trust, wife lost her beneficiary status
upon her divorce from husband and thus was not a trustee or beneficiary and had no property interest in
the trust, and there was no evidence that husband set up the trust for an improper or fraudulent purpose.
Vanderlugt v. Vanderlugt, 429 P.3d 1269, 1274.

§ 4. Terms of the Trust

Or.2019. Com.  (g) quot. in case quot. in sup. Users of state driver records sued the state department of
transportation (DOT) and the state department of administrative services (DAS) after the DOT sold the
DAS  an exclusive license to provide real-time electronic access to such records, challenging, among
other things, the DAS's decision to sublicense its rights to a third party that began charging users a fee
of $3 per record. The trial court granted summary judgment for plaintiffs, finding that the DAS violated
its trust obligations to the state highway fund under the state statute that created the highway-fund trust.
After the court of appeals reversed, this court affirmed the court of appeals. The court rejected plaintiffs'
argument that the DAS's actions amounted to prohibited self-dealing, holding that the DAS was not
named  as a highway-fund trustee under the statute, and its status as a trustee could not be implied. The
court cited Restatement Third of Trusts § 4 in explaining that the highway fund was a statutory trust,
with terms that were either set forth in the statute or were supplied by the default rules of general trust
law. Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc. v. Department of Transportation, 432 P.3d 1080, 1091.

            CHAPTER 5. FORMALITIES: CREATION OF INTER VIVOS TRUSTS

§ 25. Validity and Effect of Revocable Inter Vivos Trust

N.D.2018. Com.  (e) cit. in disc. (citing § 25, com. (e) of T.D. No. 1, 1996, which is now § 25, com. (e)
of the Official Text). Oil company brought an action to quiet title and for specific performance against
