RS 2158 - Power to adjust
A. A trustee may make an adjustment between principal and income when the interest of one or more beneficiaries is defined by reference to the "income" of a trust, and the trustee determines, after taking into account the allocations for the year under Subpart D of this Part, that the adjustment is necessary in order for the trustee to satisfy his duty to be fair and reasonable to all the beneficiaries, taking into account the purposes of the trust.
B. When income is distributed during the year, the income can be determined based on the adjustment to be made for the year. The adjustment to be made for the year can be determined in a way that causes the total amount distributed to the income beneficiary during the year to be equal to a percentage of the value of the trust property at the end of the prior year or at the end of an average of up to three prior years.
C. The authority to make an adjustment under this Section is subject to the limitations set forth hereafter in this Subpart.
