700.7210 Registration procedures.
Sec. 7210.
(1) A trust is registered by the filing of a statement that states the trustee's name and address and in which the trustee acknowledges the trusteeship. The statement shall indicate if the trust has been registered elsewhere. The statement shall identify the trust in 1 of the following manners:
(a) For a trust created by will, by the name of the testator and the date and place of domiciliary probate.
(b) For a written inter-vivos trust, by the name of each settlor and the original trustee and the date of the trust instrument and all amendments existing on the date of registration.
(c) For an oral trust, by information identifying the settlor or other source of property and describing the trust's time and manner of creation and the terms of the trust, including the subject matter, beneficiaries, and time of performance.
(2) The trust instrument is not required to be filed with the court as part of the registration of a trust. If a trust is registered elsewhere, registration in this state is ineffective until the earlier registration is released by order of the court where that registration occurred or by an instrument executed by the trustee and all qualified trust beneficiaries. The order or instrument shall be filed with the registration in this state.
