HB 174 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the principal place of administration of a trust

HB 174 modifies how trusts can change their "principal place of administration" (where the trust is managed). It allows trustees to transfer this location to another state or country without court approval if they follow specific steps, directly affecting trustees and beneficiaries. Key provisions require 60 days' written notice to beneficiaries, including reasons for the transfer, potential changes in governing law, and a deadline for objections. Beneficiaries can stop the transfer by objecting within the 60-day window. The bill aims to streamline trust administration while ensuring beneficiaries are informed of significant changes.
