12. EXCEPTION CREDITORS<br />

Many DAPT state statutes provide for exception creditors. As stated previously, generally the<br />

DAPT statutes allow a grantor to be a permissible discretionary beneficiary. If structured<br />

properly, creditors of the settlor cannot reach the trust assets. However, many states provide<br />

exceptions for certain types of creditors, known as “exception creditors.” If the creditor fits<br />

within the type/class of creditor proscribed by the statute, then the creditor may be able to reach<br />

the trust’s assets.<br />
