Summary

Self-settled spendthrift trusts; creation of. Provides for the creation of self-settled spendthrift trusts, which protect trust assets against the claims of a settlor who is also a trust beneficiary. This bill allows a settlor to transfer assets to an irrevocable trust to be held for the joint benefit of the settlor and at least one other beneficiary. Currently, a spendthrift clause is ineffective to shield the beneficiary from creditors when the beneficiary is also the settlor. Current law allows the creation of trusts that are protected from the claims of creditors against trust beneficiaries, and this bill extends that policy to trusts of which the settlor is also a discretionary beneficiary.
