HB2863

Modifies trust law to clarify when no-contest clauses are enforceable and to allow petitions to determine clause applicability.

This bill modifies Missouri trust law by clarifying when no-contest clauses are enforceable. It allows interested persons to petition the court to determine if a specific claim would trigger the clause. The court's ruling governs the clause's application. If the ruling is later reversed, no party is prejudiced. The bill also repeals and replaces a section of the law to define no-contest clauses and outline when they are not enforceable.
