14-10506. Overdue distribution;
definition

A. Whether or not a trust contains a spendthrift provision, a creditor or assignee
of a beneficiary may reach a mandatory distribution of income or principal, including a
distribution on termination of the trust, if the trustee has not made the distribution to
the beneficiary within a reasonable time after the mandated distribution date unless the
terms of the trust expressly authorize the trustee to delay the distribution to protect
the beneficiary's interest in the distribution.

B. For the purposes of this section, "mandatory distribution" means a distribution
of income or principal that the trustee is required to make to a beneficiary under the
terms of the trust, including a distribution on termination of the trust. Mandatory
distribution does not include a distribution that is subject to the exercise of the
trustee's discretion even if:

1. The discretion is expressed in the form of a standard of distribution.

2. The terms of the trust authorizing a distribution couple language of discretion
with language of direction.
