Text

(a) Whenever notice to qualified beneficiaries of a trust is required under this title, the trustee shall also give notice to any other beneficiary who has sent the trustee a request for notice.

(b)(1) A charitable organization expressly designated to receive distributions under the terms of a charitable trust has the rights of a qualified beneficiary under this title if the charitable organization, on the date the charitable organization's qualification is being determined, is:

(A) a “first tier” beneficiary as a distributee or permissible distributee of trust income or principal;

(B) a “second tier” beneficiary who would be a first tier beneficiary of trust income or principal if the interests of the distributees described in subdivision (1)(A) of this subsection (b) terminated on that date without causing the trust to terminate; or

(C) a “final beneficiary” who would be a distributee or permissible distributee of trust income or principal if the trust terminated on that date.

(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (1) of this subsection (b), a second tier beneficiary or a final beneficiary whose interest in the trust is created by the exercise of a power of appointment, and the exercise of the power of appointment is not irrevocable, shall not have the rights of a “qualified beneficiary.”

(c) A person appointed to enforce a trust created for the care of an animal or another noncharitable purpose as provided in section 408 or 409 of this title has the rights of a qualified beneficiary under this title.

(d) The Attorney General of this State has the rights of a qualified beneficiary with respect to a charitable trust having its principal place of administration in this State.
