The Delaware Trust Code

The Delaware Trust Code is a set of legal rules governing the creation, management, and administration of trusts in Delaware. It provides clarity for trustees, beneficiaries, and other parties by detailing rights, duties, and procedures to ensure trusts are managed fairly and efficiently. The Code aims to balance flexibility with protection, allowing trust arrangements to suit individual needs while maintaining transparency and accountability. As Delaware is a popular jurisdiction for trusts due to its modern, well-established laws, the Code offers a comprehensive framework that promotes confidence in trust management and estate planning.
