Uniform Trust Code
The Uniform Trust Code' is a model law in the United States, which although not binding, is influential in the states, and used by many as a model law. As of July 2012, 25 states have adopted some substantive form of the UTC with three others having introduced it into the legislature for adoption.[1]
Background
The goal of the uniform law is to standardize the law of trusts to a greater extent, given their increased use as a substitute for the "last will and testament" as the primary estate planning mechanism for the affluent.
