Trust decanting – the act of distributing trust assets from an old trust to a new trust with different terms – has recently gained attention as a means for trustees to address changed or unforeseen circumstances that arise in the course of trust administration.   This presentation will:

  • review Morse v. Kraft – the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court case addressing a situation where the Court found that the trustee’s authority to distribute trust assets included the authority to distribute (or “decant”) the trust assets to a new trust with different terms;
  • consider the types of trusts that might permit the trustees to decant;
  • discuss the fiduciary, tax, and procedural considerations involved in the decision to decant a trust; and
  • consider other available methods to address changed or unforeseen circumstances that arise in the course of trust administration.
