Section 30-3811 - (UTC 111) Nonjudicial settlement agreements(UTC 111)
(a) For purposes of this section, "interested persons" means persons whose consent would be required in order to achieve a binding settlement were the settlement to be approved by the court.(b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section, interested persons may enter into a binding nonjudicial settlement agreement with respect to any matter involving a trust.(c) A nonjudicial settlement agreement is valid only to the extent it does not violate a material purpose of the trust and includes terms and conditions that could be properly approved by the court under the Nebraska Uniform Trust Code or other applicable law. A spendthrift provision in the terms of the trust is presumed to constitute a material purpose of the trust.(d) Matters that may be resolved by a nonjudicial settlement agreement include: (1) the interpretation or construction of the terms of the trust;(2) the approval of a trustee's report or accounting;(3) direction to a trustee to refrain from performing a particular act or the grant to a trustee of any necessary or desirable power;(4) the resignation or appointment of a trustee and the determination of a trustee's compensation;(5) transfer of a trust's principal place of administration; and(6) liability of a trustee for an action relating to the trust.(e) Any interested person may request the court to approve a nonjudicial settlement agreement, to determine whether the representation as provided in sections 30-3822 to 30-3826 was adequate, and to determine whether the agreement contains terms and conditions the court could have properly approved.Neb.
