Sec. 24.5. (a) This section does not apply to an easement for conservation or preservation.
(b) This subsection applies to a trust consisting of trust property having a total value of less than seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000). Unless the terms of the trust provide otherwise, the trustee may terminate the trust:
(1) if the trustee concludes the value of the trust property is insufficient to justify the cost of administration; and
(2) after providing notice of the trust termination to qualified beneficiaries.
(c) The trustee may propose the termination of a trust by written notice to qualified beneficiaries if the trustee, upon review of surrounding circumstances, concludes that continuation of the trust on its existing terms would be contrary to the economic best interest of the trust estate and that early termination would be in the best interests of the beneficiaries consistent with the settlor's intent. This trust termination shall occur upon receipt of written consent of all qualified beneficiaries.
(d) The court may:
(1) modify or terminate a trust; or
(2) remove the trustee and appoint a different trustee;
if the court determines that the value of the trust property is insufficient to justify the cost of administration. If a trust terminates under this subsection, the court shall direct the trustee to distribute the trust property in a manner consistent with the purposes of the trust.
(e) If a trust terminates under subsection (c), the trustee shall distribute the trust property in a manner consistent with the purposes of the trust.
