Article 5. Colorado Uniform Trust Code
Section 15-5-113. Alternate dispute resolution.
(1) A settlor may designate in the trust instrument a method of nonjudicial alternate dispute resolution that is valid, enforceable, and irrevocable, except on a ground that exists at law or in equity for the invalidation of a trust. Such methods of nonjudicial dispute resolution may include rules of notice and procedure. The settlor may bind beneficiaries and assigns to the methods of dispute resolution.
(2) A method of nonjudicial dispute resolution provided by the settlor in the trust instrument does not preclude the court's authority to enter an order of alternate dispute resolution, which does not eliminate or negate the method of nonjudicial dispute resolution provided by the settlor except on a ground that exists at law or in equity for the invalidation of a trust.
