Revocable Trust Agreement with Corporate Trustee This Trust Agreement is made _____________________ (date), between _____________________ (Name of Grantor), of _________________________________________ (street address, city, state, zip code), referred to herein as Grantor , and _____________________ (Name of Trustee), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of _____________________ (name of state), with its principal office located at _________________________________________ (street address, city, state, zip code), referred to herein as the Trustee.For and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: Grantor hereby assigns and sets over to Trustee the property set forth in the attached Schedule A, which is incorporated by this reference, the receipt of which property is acknowledged by Trustee, to be held in Trust, as follows: 1. Distribution of Income and Principal. Trustee shall pay or apply the net income to or for the use of Grantor during Grantor's lifetime. On the death of Grantor, Trustee shall pay over and distribute the principal as the same shall then consist to such person or persons, or corporations, and in such amounts, in further Trust or otherwise, as Grantor may appoint by specific reference to this power of appointment in Grantor's Last Will and Testament. In default of such appointment or insofar as such appointment shall not be effectively exercised, then the principal shall be paid over and distributed to Grantor's surviving issue, per stirpes, and if none, among Grantor's brothers and sisters then surviving and the issue then surviving, per stirpes, of any deceased brothers and sisters, and failing such, then to the executors or administrators of Grantor's Estate, to become and be disposed of as part of the Estate. 2. Income Payable to Spouse and Children. Trustee shall pay or apply the net income to or for the use of _____________________ (Name of Wife), the wife of Grantor, during his lifetime. On the death of _____________________ (Name of Grantor), the principal, as it shall then consist, shall be divided into as many equal shares as there may be children of Grantor then surviving and children of Grantor then deceased leaving issue then surviving, so that there shall be one equal share for each such child of Grantor then surviving and one equal share for the then-surviving issue collectively of each such child of Grantor then deceased. These shares shall be held, managed, and disposed of as follows:A. As to the equal share set aside for the then-surviving issue collectively of each such child of Grantor then deceased, the share shall be paid over and distributed to such issue, per stirpes.B. As to the equal share set aside for each such child of Grantor then surviving, the share shall be held in a further separate trust and Trustee shall pay or apply the net income from such child's trust to or for the use of the child during the child's life or until the earlier termination of the trust as provided below. When the child attains the age of _____________________ (number) years, or if the child shall have attained that age at the time of the division provided for above, Trustee shall pay over and distribute to the child absolutely the principal of his or her trust. If the child shall die prior to becoming entitled to receive the principal of his or her separate trust, then on the child's death Trustee shall pay over and distribute the principal of the trust, as the same shall then consist, to such person or persons, or corporations, and in such amounts, as the child may appoint by specific reference to this power of appointment in his or her Last Will and Testament (excluding, however, the child's estate, the child's creditors or the creditors of the child's estate), and in default of such appointment, or in so far as the appointment shall not be effectively exercised, then, per stirpes, to his or her issue then surviving, and failing any such issue, then, per stirpes, to Grantor's issue then surviving; provided, however, that if in default of appointment any portion of the principal shall be payable to a child of Grantor for whom a share is then held in trust under this instrument, such portion shall, instead of being paid outright to the child, be added to the Trust created by this instrument for the child's benefit and be held and disposed of as part of that Trust.C. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the trust as to any share set aside for a child of Grantor who shall not have been in being at the creation of this Trust shall terminate in any event on the death of the youngest child of Grantor living at the date of this Agreement who shall survive (Name of Spouse). In that event, Trustee shall pay over and distribute the principal of the Trust to such after-born child, absolutely.3.Simultaneous Death. If the income beneficiary and any remainderman of any Trust created by this Agreement shall die in a common accident under such circumstances that it is difficult or impossible to determine who predeceased the other, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as though the income beneficiary had survived any such remainderman and the Trust created by this Agreement shall be administered and distributed in all respects accordingly.4.Discretion of Trustee to Invade Principal. Trustee is authorized at any time or from time to time to pay to or apply to the use of the person then entitled to the income of any Trust under this Agreement, out of the principal of the Trust, such sum or as Trustee may deem appropriate (without any duty to take into consideration the person's other resources or other income) for that person's maintenance, education, and welfare, or for any other purpose in the discretion of Trustee. Trustee shall be the sole judge of whether the occasion exists for the withdrawal of principal under this Agreement, whether principal shall be withdrawn, and the amount of principal and its use.5. Children and Issue. The words child, children and issue wherever used in this Agreement shall include for all purposes not only the child, children, and issue of the person or persons designated, but also the legally adopted child and children of such designated person or persons and of such issue, and also all the legally adopted children and issue of the legally adopted children.6.Minor Beneficiaries. If any person becoming entitled to any property under this Agreement shall be under the age of 18 years, the same shall vest in the person, but in the discretion of Trustee the payment may be deferred in whole or in part until the person attains such age, Trustee meanwhile holding and retaining the property for the benefit of that person, and applying so much of the property and any income from it as Trustee, in Trustee's discretion, may determine for that person's benefit or other use. The retention of any property for any person pursuant to the foregoing shall not be considered as a continuation of any prior trust and Trustee shall be entitled to receive for its services to any such person pursuant to this power separate compensation at the rates and in the manner allowed to a sole guardian of the property of a minor under the laws of _____________________ (name of state).7. Payment to or for Minor or Incompetent. In making payment of property, whether principal or income, to a person under the age of 18 years or to an incompetent, or in applying property, whether principal or income, to the use of any such person under any provision of this Agreement, Trustee may make the payment or application by payment to such person directly or to a natural or foster parent, or to the person with whom such person shall reside, or to the guardian, committee, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, of such person. The payment to any of the foregoing shall be a full discharge of Trustee and binding in all respects on such person.8. Powers of Trustee.
