A.

To the extent practicable, the modification must be made in accordance with the settlor's probable intention.

B. The court may modify the administrative terms of a trust if continuation of the trust on its existing terms would be impracticable or wasteful or would impair the trust's administration.

C. On termination of a trust under this section, the trustee shall distribute the trust property in a manner consistent with the purposes of the trust.
