Terms Used In Missouri Laws 443.350

  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Property: includes real and personal property. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • Security instrument: as that term is used in this chapter, shall mean any mortgage, deed of trust or other real property security instrument securing the payment or satisfaction of any debt or other obligation. See Missouri Laws 443.005
  • State: when applied to any of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" includes such district and territories. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.

No foreign corporation or individual shall act as trustee in any security instrument made after August 28, 1994, affecting any property, real or personal, situate or being in this state, unless in such instrument there is named as cotrustee a corporation organized under the laws of this state, or an individual citizen of the state of Missouri. If any Missouri corporation is designated trustee in any security instrument or is appointed a successor trustee, it shall not be considered to be subject to any disability to act as such because it is organized under a chapter of the Missouri revised statutes other than chapter 362, or because its articles of incorporation do not contain a specific power to execute trusts or serve as trustee under security instruments.
