  • Beneficiary: A person who is entitled to receive the benefits or proceeds of a will, trust, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, or other contract. Source: OCC
  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.

A termination of a trust causes the dispositive provisions of the trust to achieve their ultimate effect.  A partial termination of a trust causes some of the dispositive provisions to achieve their ultimate effect.  A beneficiary receiving trust property as a result of the whole or partial termination of a trust shall be personally liable for the obligations and liabilities of the trust existing on the date of termination to the extent of the value of the trust property received by such beneficiary unless, in the case of a partial termination, existing trust property is sufficient to satisfy the obligations and liabilities of the trust.
