TRUSTS 3D
PART 1. NATURE, CHARACTERISTICS, AND TYPES OF TRUSTS
CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS
§ 1. Scope of This Restatement
Conn.App.2021. Com. (a) cit. in sup. Mother of beneficiaries of accounts created under the Connecticut
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) filed a petition against father, who was her ex-husband,
requesting that he be removed as custodian of the accounts. The trial court rendered decrees removing
father, and the court of appeals affirmed. This court reversed and remanded, holding that the court of
appeals improperly placed the burden of proof on father to prove that his removal was not warranted,
rather than on mother to show that he should be removed. The court cited Restatement Third of Trusts §
1 in support of the proposition that minors' custodianships were virtual trusts and explained that placing
the burden of proof on the party who sought removal of the custodian of a UTMA account was
consistent with the rule that removal was an extraordinary remedy designed to protect against harm
caused by the continuing depletion or mismanagement of an estate. In re Probate Appeal of Douglas
McIntyre, 263 A.3d 925, 933.
§ 2. Definition of Trust
Conn.Super.2021. Com. (f) quot. in sup., quot. in case quot. in sup.; com. (i) quot. in sup. After the
death of decedent, who, prior to his death, created a charitable trust and executed a will that exercised
his nongeneral testamentary power of appointment under various family trusts to fund the charitable
trust, decedent's sister and co-trustees of the family trusts filed a petition for construction of the trusts
and confirmation of the validity of decedent's actions. The probate court ruled that decedent's actions
were valid and effective. This court affirmed. The court rejected sister and co-trustees' argument that
decedent's exercise of his power of appointment failed by operation of law because the charitable trust
was not funded during decedent's lifetime and thus was not a legal entity to which property could be
appointed, noting that, under Restatement Third of Trusts § 2, a trust need not be funded
contemporaneously with the execution of the trust documents, so long as it was funded at a later point
by the delivery of trust property to a trustee. Benjamin v. Corasaniti, 267 A.3d 108, 117, 119.
§ 3. Settlor, Trust Property, Trustee, and Beneficiary
Hawaii App.2021. Subsec. (2) and com. (b) quot. in sup. Park visitor who was struck by a large tree
branch that fell on her while she was standing in the park filed a personal-injury action against, among
others, trustee that held the park in trust for the benefit of the public, as well as the trust itself. The trial
court granted summary judgment for defendants, finding that defendants were immune from tort liability
