AI Summary
-
Creates Florida Statute 736.10081 establishing a nonjudicial process for trustees to obtain settlement of accounts and discharge from liability when a trust terminates or a trustee resigns/is removed (available 6 months after trustee's acceptance)
-
Requires trustees seeking discharge to send a trust disclosure document to qualified beneficiaries, cotrustees, and successor trustees containing contact information, a distribution plan with asset schedules, debts, expenses, taxes, and any reserves
-
Beneficiaries have 60 days after receiving the disclosure document to submit a written objection, which does not need to state grounds or be in any particular form
-
Trustees who receive no timely objections are discharged from all liability and claims arising from matters disclosed in the document upon completing distributions, with the same effect as a court-approved final order
-
Applies to all trusts that are irrevocable or become irrevocable on or after the act's effective date, and supplements rather than replaces existing trustee settlement rights
