Section 163.004 - Creation: Terms; revocability; rules of construction1. Except as otherwise provided by law, the terms of a trust instrument may expand, restrict, eliminate or otherwise vary the rights and interests of beneficiaries in any manner that is not illegal or against public policy, including, without limitation: (a) The right to be informed of the beneficiary's interest for a period of time;(b) The grounds for the removal of a fiduciary;(c) The circumstances, if any, in which the fiduciary must diversify investments;(d) A fiduciary's powers, duties, standards of care, rights of indemnification and liability to persons whose interests arise from the trust instrument; and(e) The provisions of general applicability to trusts and trust administration.2. A trust is irrevocable except to the extent that a right to revoke the trust is expressly reserved by the settlor under the terms of the trust instrument. Any authority, power or right granted to any person other than the settlor under the terms of the trust instrument or by law, including, without limitation, the power or right to amend the trust, does not render or make a trust revocable.3. Nothing in this section shall be construed to:(a) Authorize the exculpation or indemnification of a fiduciary for the fiduciary's own willful misconduct or gross negligence; or(b) Preclude a court of competent jurisdiction from removing a fiduciary because of the fiduciary's willful misconduct or gross negligence.4. The rule that statutes in derogation of the common law are to be strictly construed has no application to this section. This section must be liberally construed to give maximum effect to the principle of freedom of disposition and to the enforceability of trust instruments.Added to NRS by 1991, 1704; A 2011, 1466; 2015, 3542; 2019, 1862; 2021, 981Amended by 2021, Ch. 209,§33, eff. 10/1/2021.Amended by 2019, Ch. 309,§24, eff. 10/1/2019.Amended by 2015, Ch. 524,§49, eff. 10/1/2015.Added to NRS by 1991, 1704; A 2011, 1466
