Section 30-4-2.1-4 - Children born after trust's creation
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) and section 5 of this chapter, when a settlor fails to provide in the settlor's trust for a child who is:
(1) born or adopted after the making of the settlor's trust; and
(2) born before or after the settlor's death;

the child is entitled to receive a share in the trust assets.

The child is entitled to receive a share of the trust assets equivalent in value to the intestacy share determined under IC 29-1-2-1.

(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a child of the settlor if:
(1) it appears from the trust that the settlor intentionally failed to provide in the settlor's trust for the child; or
(2) the settlor:
(A) had at least one (1) child known to the settlor to be living when the trust was executed; and
(B) devised substantially all of the settlor's trust assets to the settlor's surviving spouse.
