PART 1. 
TRUST REGISTRATION



 



§560:7-101  Duty to register trusts. 
The trustee of a trust having its principal place of administration in this
State who is required to register the trust under section 560:1-108 shall
register the trust in the court in the judicial circuit either of the principal
place of administration of the trust, or, in the case of a trust relating only
to land, of the place where the land is located.  Unless otherwise designated
in the trust instrument, the principal place of administration of a trust is
the trustee's usual place of business where the records pertaining to the trust
are kept, or at the trustee's residence if the trustee has no such place of
business.  In the case of co‑trustees, the principal place of
administration, if not otherwise designated in the trust instrument, is (1) the
usual place of business of the corporate trustee if there is but one corporate
co‑trustee, or (2) the usual place of business or residence of the
individual trustee who is a professional fiduciary if there is but one such
person and no corporate co‑trustee, and otherwise (3) the usual place of
business or residence of any of the co‑trustees as agreed upon by them. 
The duty to register under this part does not apply to the trustee of a trust
if registration would be inconsistent with the retained jurisdiction of a
foreign court from which the trustee cannot obtain release. [L 1976, c 200, pt
of §1; am L 1977, c 144, §53; gen ch 1985]
