Title 53, Chapter 12, Section 213
( 53-12-213)
(a) An income beneficiary is entitled to income from the date
specified in the trust or, if none is specified, from the date an
asset becomes subject to the trust. In the case of an asset
becoming subject to a trust by reason of a will, it becomes subject
to the trust as of the date of the death of the testator even though
there is an intervening period of administration of the testator's
estate. (b) In the administration of a decedent's estate or an asset
becoming subject to a trust by reason of a will: (1) Receipts due but not paid at the date of death of the testator
are principal; (2) Receipts in the form of periodic payments, other than
corporate distributions to stockholders, including rent, interest,
or annuities, not due at the date of the death of the testator
shall be treated as accruing from day to day. That portion of the
receipt accruing before the date of death is principal, and the
balance of the receipt is income. (c) In all other cases, any receipt from an income-producing asset
is income even though the receipt was earned or accrued in whole or
in part before the date when the asset became subject to the trust. (d) On termination of an income interest, the income beneficiary
whose interest is terminated, or his estate, is entitled to: (1) Income undistributed on the date of termination; (2) Income due but not paid to the trustee on the date of
termination; and (3) Income in the form of periodic payments, other than corporate
distribution to stockholders, including rent, interest, or
annuities, not due on the date of termination, accrued from day to
day. (e) Corporate distributions to stockholders shall be treated as due
on the day fixed by the corporation for determination of
stockholders of record entitled to distribution or, if no date is
fixed, on the date of declaration of the distribution by the
corporation. |
