Re: [WSBAPT] trust situs</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir="ltr">As I understand it, the situs of a trust is the location where
the records are kept and the administrative decisions are made. In my
experience, most trusts coming in from other states have a have references to
the state where the trust was created, at least with respect to the laws
applying to the interpretation of the trust terms. My normal practice is
to prepare a simple trust amendment stating that the situs of the trust is
being moved to Washington, and that Washington law will apply going
forward. That should be enough, shouldn't it? Most clients would
resist any "registration" of their trust.</DIV>

<DIV>Esteemed Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a client who moved here from out of state. While a
resident of the other state, he created a Revocable Living
Trust. Now he is wondering whether he should formally
change the situs of the Trust to Washington. I have looked
at the statute having to do with situs, and it appears that, provided
that one or more of several criteria are met, a trust can be registered here
in Washington by filing a form similar to the one described in the
statute. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any advantage or disadvantage in doing this
immediately? Any harm in waiting? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards to all,</DIV>
