HB 101 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Uniform trust code-amendments.

HB 101 amends Wyoming's trust laws to modernize administration and clarify roles. It updates definitions (like "qualified trustee" and "power of appointment"), changes who can modify or terminate trusts (allowing settlors, trustees, and beneficiaries to initiate proceedings), and revises procedures for filling trustee vacancies. The bill also clarifies that trust protectors or advisors directing trustee actions are not automatically fiduciaries, reducing liability for trustees following such directions. These changes directly affect trust creators, trustees, beneficiaries, and advisors managing or using Wyoming trusts.
