SUBPART F-1. SURVIVING MINOR'S BENEFIT
PLACED IN TRUST
§235. Minor's benefit placed in trust; payable under trust instrument
A. If a state or statewide retirement system provides for payment of benefits to the minor child of a deceased member, when there is no surviving spouse or when the surviving spouse does not have legal custody of the minor child, then, notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, benefits shall be paid to such minor child in accordance with the law of the respective state or statewide retirement system except as provided in Subsection B of this Section.
B. If a trust has been created under Louisiana law by the deceased member for the benefit of the child, the terms of the instrument creating the trust so provide, and the respective system has been provided with a certified copy of the trust document, then the survivor benefit due the minor child shall be paid to the trustee for addition to the trust property. If the trust is contested by any party, the respective retirement system shall withhold all survivor benefit payments or deposit them in the registry of the court if a concursus proceeding is filed, until there is a final binding legal agreement or judgment regarding the proper payment of the survivor benefits.
