Highlight

In the absence of trust language specifying a termination date for a trust, termination occurs when the object or purpose of the trust is accomplished.

A trustee has a fiduciary duty to a trust and may be liable to the trust for breaches of that duty.

An award of trustee fees and attorney fees is reviewed under the abuse-of-discretion standard.
