Section 19-3B-202
Jurisdiction over trustee and beneficiary.
(a) A trustee submits personally to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state regarding any matter involving a trust:
(1) by accepting the trusteeship of a trust whose settlor was a resident of this state at the time of the trust's creation, or in the case of testamentary trusts, the settlor was a resident of this state at death;
(2) by accepting the trusteeship of a trust having its principal place of administration in this state; or
(3) by moving the principal place of administration of the trust to this state.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsection (a)(1) shall not apply if the settlor designates the law of a jurisdiction other than this state to govern the trust.
(b) With respect to their interests in the trust, the beneficiaries of a trust having its principal place of administration in this state are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state regarding any matter involving the trust. By accepting a distribution from such a trust, the recipient submits personally to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state regarding any matter involving the trust.
(c) This section does not preclude other methods of obtaining jurisdiction over a trustee, beneficiary, or other person receiving property from the trust.
