(a) The duties contained in this chapter are applicable except as
otherwise provided in the trust instrument, and are in addition to
and not in limitation of the common law duties of the trustee,
except to the extent inconsistent therewith. (b) The trustee has a duty to keep the beneficiaries of the trust
reasonably informed of the trust and its administration: (1) On reasonable request by any beneficiary the trustee shall
provide the beneficiary with a report of information, to the
extent relevant to the beneficiary's interest, about the assets,
liabilities, receipts, and disbursements of the trust, the acts of
the trustee, and the particulars relating to the administration of
the trust, including the terms of the trust that describe or
affect the beneficiary's interest; (2) The trustee shall account at least annually, at the
termination of the trust, and upon a change of trustees, to each
beneficiary of an irrevocable trust to whom income is required or
authorized in the trustee's discretion to be distributed
currently, and to any person who may revoke the trust; at the
termination of the trust, the trustee shall also account to each
remainder beneficiary. In full satisfaction of this obligation,
the trustee may deliver the accounting to the legal or natural
guardian of any beneficiary who is under a legal disability; (3) An accounting furnished pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
subsection shall contain a statement of receipts and disbursements
of principal and income that have occurred during the last
complete fiscal year of the trust or since the last accounting and
a statement of the assets and liabilities of the trust as of the
end of the accounting period; (4) The trustee is not required to report information or account
to a beneficiary who has waived in writing the right to a report
or accounting and has not withdrawn that waiver; (5) Nothing in this Code section shall affect the power of a court
to require an accounting. (c) The trustee shall distribute all net income derived from the
trust at least annually. |
