Title 14 : Decedents Estates and Fiduciary Relations
Chapter 118 : Uniform Principal and Income Act
Subchapter 004 : ALLOCATION OF RECEIPTS DURING ADMINISTRATION OF TRUST
(Cite as: 14 V.S.A. § 3358)-
§ 3358. Insubstantial allocations not required
If a trustee determines that an allocation between principal and income required by section 3359, 3360, 3361, 3362, or 3365 of this title is insubstantial, the trustee may allocate the entire amount to principal unless one of the circumstances described in subsection 3324(c) of this title applies to the allocation. This power may be exercised by a cotrustee in the circumstances described in subsection 3324(d) of this title and may be released for the reasons and in the manner described in subsection 3324(e) of this title. An allocation is presumed to be insubstantial if:
(1) the amount of the allocation would increase or decrease net income in an accounting period, as determined before the allocation, by less than 10 percent; or
(2) the value of the asset producing the receipt for which the allocation would be made is less than 10 percent of the total value of the trust’s assets at the beginning of the accounting period. (Added 2011, No. 114 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
