Illinois HB4436 amends the Illinois Trust Code to introduce the concept of "virtuous trusts," which can be created for business or other noncharitable purposes without requiring a definite or ascertainable beneficiary. These trusts must be established by a written instrument and can hold ownership interests in various business entities. A virtuous trust can be enforced by one or more trust enforcers appointed in the trust instrument, with provisions for appointing successors.
