Part 1 - Trust Registration
§ 15-16-102. Registration procedures and content of statement

(1) Registration shall be accomplished by filing a statement indicating the name and address of the trustee in which it acknowledges the trusteeship. The statement shall indicate whether the trust has been registered elsewhere.

(2) The statement shall identify the trust as follows:

(a) In the case of a testamentary trust, by the name of the testator and the date and place of domiciliary probate;

(b) In the case of a written inter vivos trust, by the name of each settlor and the original trustee and the date of the trust instrument;

(c) In the case of an oral trust, by information identifying the settlor or other source of funds and describing the time and manner of the trust's creation and the terms of the trust, including the subject matter, beneficiaries, and time of performance.

(2.5) The trust registration statement shall contain language indicating that, because a court will not routinely review or adjudicate matters unless it is specifically requested to do so by a beneficiary, creditor, or other interested person, all interested persons, including beneficiaries and creditors, have the responsibility to protect their own rights and interests in the estate in the manner provided by the provisions of this code by filing an appropriate pleading with the court by which the estate is being administered and serving it on all interested persons pursuant to section 15-10-401.

(3) If a trust has been registered elsewhere, registration in this state is ineffective until the earlier registration is released by order of the court where prior registration occurred, or an instrument executed by the trustee and all beneficiaries, filed with the registration in this state.
