## Text

(1) Terms of a trust designating the principal place of administration are valid and controlling if:

(a) A trustee’s principal place of business is located in the designated state, country or other jurisdiction, or the trustee is a resident of the designated state, country or other jurisdiction;

(b) All or part of the administration occurs in the designated state, country or other jurisdiction; or

(c) Other means exist for establishing a sufficient connection with the designated state, country or other jurisdiction.

(2) A trustee is under a continuing duty to administer the trust at a place appropriate to the trust’s purposes, the trust’s administration and the interests of the beneficiaries. Absent a substantial change of circumstances, the trustee may assume that the original place of administration is also the appropriate place of administration. The duty to administer the trust at an appropriate place may prevent a trustee from moving the place of administration.

(3) Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a) A trustee may transfer the trust’s principal place of administration to another state, country or other jurisdiction if the transfer is in furtherance of the duty imposed by subsection (2) of this section.

(c) The authority of a trustee under this subsection to transfer a trust’s principal place of administration terminates if a qualified beneficiary notifies the trustee of an objection to the proposed transfer on or before the date specified in the notice.
