An Act clarifying a right of a durable power of attorney

This bill clarifies that a person authorized under a durable power of attorney (a "settlor's agent") can legally create a trust on behalf of another person, as long as the agent follows specific rules in Chapter 190B of Massachusetts law. It directly affects individuals using durable powers of attorney for estate planning, ensuring their designated agents have clear legal authority to establish trusts. The key change adds "or the settlor’s agent" to existing trust creation provisions, explicitly including agents acting under a durable power of attorney. The bill does not alter the requirements for creating a durable power of attorney itself but makes the agent’s role in trust creation legally explicit.
