D. <strong>Trust</strong> Prohibitions. A trust, however, may expressly prohibit decanting or prohibit certain modifications through decanting. Some state statutes expressly prohibit decanting to the extent prohibited by the trust instrument. See, e.g., Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee and Virginia. Generally, a spendthrift provision, provision prohibiting amendment or provision stating that a trust is irrevocable will not be construed as prohibiting decanting. E. Who Needs to Participate? Generally, decanting is performed by one or more of the trustees. In some states notice is required to be given to certain beneficiaries (and sometimes other parties). Generally, court approval is permitted but not required except under certain circumstances. F. Grantor’s Intent and <strong>Trust</strong> Purposes. The Illinois statute explicitly states that the exercise of the power of decanting must be exercised “in furtherance of the purposes of the trust.” The South Dakota statute also directs the trustee to take into account the purposes of the trust: Before exercising its discretion to appoint and distribute assets to a second trust, the trustee of the first trust shall determine whether the appointment is necessary or desirable after taking into account the purposes of the first trust, the terms and conditions of the second trust, and the consequences of the distribution. The New York statute even more directly directs the trustee to consider the intent of the settlor: An authorized trustee exercising the power under this section has a fiduciary duty to exercise the power in the best interests of one or more proper objects of the exercise of the power and as a prudent person would exercise the power under the prevailing circumstances. The authorized trustee may not exercise the power under this section if there is substantial evidence of the contrary intent of the creator and it cannot be established that the creator would be likely to have changed such intention under the circumstances existing at the time of the exercise of the power. The provisions of the invaded trust alone are not to be viewed as substantial evidence of a contrary intent of the creator unless the invaded trust expressly prohibits the exercise of the power in the manner intended by the authorized trustee. G. Discretionary Distribution Authority. Generally, the trustee must have the power to make discretionary distributions to decant. Some statutes require that the power be over principal, some require only a power over income or principal. Some statutes require that the power be an “absolute power” or that the trustee have “absolute discretion”; other statutes permit decanting even if the discretion is not absolute. (The New York statute uses the term “unlimited discretion” rather than “absolute discretion.”) Some statutes have bifurcated standards that require 3
absolute discretion for some modifications (generally changes to beneficial interests) but permit decanting for other purposes (e.g., administrative modifications) even when the discretion is not absolute. 1. Absolute Discretion Not Required. The trustee may decant even if the trustee’s discretion is not absolute in Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee. Most of these states have restrictions on a beneficiary who is a trustee decanting. Alaska requires that the distribution standard remain the same. 2. Bifurcated Standard. States requiring absolute discretion for some decanting but not others include Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Virginia. Michigan actually has two statutes, one of which applies when the trustee has absolute discretion (Michigan § 556.115a) and the other of which applies when the trustee has discretion (but not necessarily absolute discretion) (Michigan § 700.7820a). The trend of the newer statutes is to use a bifurcated standard. 3. Absolute Discretion. States requiring absolute discretion include Florida, Indiana and Rhode Island. 4. Discretion Over Principal. States that require that the trustee have discretion over principal include Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee. 5. Discretion Over Income or Principal. States that permit decanting if the trustee has discretion over income or principal include Arizona, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Dakota and Virginia. H. Definition of Absolute Discretion. 1. “Best Interests” Definition. A number of states provide that a standard such as best interests or welfare constitutes absolute discretion. For example, the Illinois statute states: “A power to distribute principal that includes purposes such as best interests, welfare, or happiness shall constitute absolute discretion.” A few statutes explicitly state that a trustee may have absolute discretion even if the trust contains a direction to consider other resources. 2. Anything Beyond Ascertainable Standard. Some states define “absolute discretion” as any discretion that is not limited to an ascertainable standard. For example, the Florida statute defines “absolute power” as follows: (b) For purposes of this subsection, an absolute power to invade principal shall include a power to invade 4
