New law clarifies trust law jurisdictions

In court cases for a trust the court can now hear the case based on both in rem jurisdiction, based on the trust itself, or in persona jurisdiction, the court’s jurisdiction over a person.

A new law, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2016, clarifies an ambiguity in trust law jurisdictions in the Minnesota Trust Code, Minnesota Statutes 2015, Chapter 501C, that updated the trust laws for the state.

Rep. Esther Agbaje (DFL-Mpls) and Sen. Michael Kreun (R-Blaine) are the sponsors.
