What is a trust indenture?
A trust indenture is a legal document that creates a trust and outlines its provisions. It defines the roles of the parties involved in the trust and sets out the rules for how the trust is managed and operated. In Colorado, trust indentures are governed by the Colorado Trust Code. The trust indenture generally includes the name of the trust, the date of establishment, the identities of the parties involved (e.g., the settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries), the purpose of the trust, the way in which it will be administered, and the duration of the trust. The trust indenture may also contain provisions that govern the distribution of assets from the trust to the beneficiaries. The trust indenture is an important document for establishing trust law in Colorado. It ensures that the trust is established in accordance with state law, and it protects the interests of all parties involved. When the trust indenture is properly established, it serves as the foundational document for the trust and helps to protect the rights of the settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries.
