2021 Tennessee Code|Title 34 - Guardianship|Chapter 8 - Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act|Part 2 - Jurisdiction|§ 34-8-207. Jurisdiction Declined by Reason of Conduct

  If at any time a court of this state determines that it acquired jurisdiction to appoint a conservator or guardian or issue a protective order because of unjustifiable conduct, the court may:  Decline to exercise jurisdiction;   Exercise jurisdiction for the limited purpose of fashioning an appropriate remedy to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the respondent or the protection of the respondent's property or prevent a repetition of the unjustifiable conduct, including staying the proceeding until a petition for the appointment of a guardian or issuance of a protective order is filed in a court of another state having jurisdiction; or   Continue to exercise jurisdiction after considering:  The extent to which the respondent and all persons required to be notified of the proceedings have acquiesced in the exercise of the court's jurisdiction;   Whether it is a more appropriate forum than the court of any other state under the factors set forth in § 34-8-206(c); and   Whether the court of any other state would have jurisdiction under factual circumstances in substantial conformity with the jurisdictional standards of § 34-8-203.       If a court of this state determines that it acquired jurisdiction to appoint a conservator or guardian or issue a protective order because a party seeking to invoke its jurisdiction engaged in unjustifiable conduct, it may assess against that party necessary and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, investigative fees, court costs, communication expenses, witness fees and expenses, and travel expenses. The court may not assess fees, costs, or expenses of any kind against this state or a governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality of this state unless authorized by law other than this chapter.

  In allocating receipts and disbursements to or between principal and income, and with respect to any matter within the scope of title 35, chapter 6, a fiduciary:  Shall administer a trust or estate in accordance with the terms of the trust or the will, even if there is a different provision in this chapter;   May administer a trust or estate by the exercise of a discretionary power of administration given to the fiduciary by the terms of the trust or the will, even if the exercise of the power produces a result different from a result required or permitted by this chapter;   Shall administer a trust or estate in accordance with this chapter if the terms of the trust or the will do not contain a different provision or do not give the fiduciary a discretionary power of administration; and   Shall add a receipt or charge a disbursement to principal to the extent that the terms of the trust and this chapter do not provide a rule for allocating the receipt or disbursement to or between principal and income.     In exercising the power to adjust under § 35-6-104(a) or a discretionary power of administration regarding a matter within the scope of this chapter, whether granted by the terms of a trust, or will or this chapter, a fiduciary shall administer a trust or estate impartially, based on what is fair and reasonable to all of the beneficiaries, considering any terms of the trust or the will manifesting the trustors' or testators' intention that the fiduciary shall or may favor one (1) or more of the beneficiaries.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 35 - Fiduciaries and Trust Estates|Chapter 6 - Uniform Principal and Income Act|Part 1 - Definitions and Fiduciary Duties|§ 35-6-105. Optional Notice

  A trustee may, but is not required to, give a notice of proposed action regarding a matter governed by this chapter as provided in this section. For the purpose of this section, a proposed action includes:  An individual action;   A course of action; or   A decision not to take action.     If the trustee decides to give notice, the trustee shall mail notice of the proposed action to all adult beneficiaries who are receiving, or are entitled to receive, income under the trust or to receive a distribution of principal if the trust were terminated at the time the notice is given.   Notice of proposed action need not be given to any person who consents in writing to the proposed action. The consent may be executed at any time before or after the proposed action is taken.   The notice of proposed action shall state that it is given pursuant to this section and shall state all of the following:  The name and mailing address of the trustee;   The name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for additional information;   A description of the action proposed to be taken and an explanation of the reasons for the action;   The time within which objections to the proposed action can be made, which shall be at least sixty (60) days from the mailing of the notice of proposed action; and   The date on or after which the proposed action may be taken or is effective.     A beneficiary may object to the proposed action by mailing a written objection to the trustee at the address stated in the notice of proposed action within the time period specified in the notice of proposed action.   A trustee is not liable to a beneficiary for an action regarding a matter governed by this chapter if the trustee does not receive a written objection to the proposed action from the beneficiary within the applicable period and the other requirements of this section are satisfied. If no beneficiary entitled to notice objects under this section, the trustee is not liable to any current or future beneficiary with respect to the proposed action.   If the trustee receives a written objection within the applicable period, either the trustee or a beneficiary may petition the court to have the proposed action taken as proposed, taken with modifications, or denied. In the proceeding, a beneficiary objecting to the proposed action has the burden of proving that the trustee's proposed action should not be taken. A beneficiary who has not objected is not estopped from opposing the proposed action in the proceeding. If the trustee decides not to implement the proposed action, the trustee shall notify the beneficiaries of the decision not to take the action and the reasons for the decision, and the trustee's decision not to implement the proposed action does not itself give rise to liability to any current or future beneficiary. A beneficiary may petition the court to have the action taken, and has the burden of proving that it should be taken.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 35 - Fiduciaries and Trust Estates|Chapter 6 - Uniform Principal and Income Act|Part 2 - Decedent's Estate or Terminating Income Interest|§ 35-6-202. Distribution to Residuary and Remainder Beneficiaries

  Each beneficiary described in § 35-6-201(4) is entitled to receive a portion of the net income equal to the beneficiary's fractional interest in undistributed principal assets, using values as of the distribution date. If a fiduciary makes more than one (1) distribution of assets to beneficiaries to whom this section applies, each beneficiary, including one who does not receive part of the distribution, is entitled, as of each distribution date, to the net income the fiduciary has received after the date of death or terminating event or earlier distribution date but has not distributed as of the current distribution date.   In determining a beneficiary's share of net income, the following rules apply:  The beneficiary is entitled to receive a portion of the net income equal to the beneficiary's fractional interest in the undistributed principal assets immediately before the distribution date, including assets that later may be sold to meet principal obligations.   The beneficiary's fractional interest in the undistributed principal assets must be calculated without regard to property specifically given to a beneficiary and property required to pay pecuniary amounts not in trust.   The beneficiary's fractional interest in the undistributed principal assets must be calculated on the basis of the aggregate value of those assets as of the distribution date without reducing the value by any unpaid principal obligation.   The distribution date for purposes of this section may be the date as of which the fiduciary calculates the value of the assets if that date is reasonably near the date on which assets are actually distributed.     If a fiduciary does not distribute all of the collected but undistributed net income to each person as of a distribution date, the fiduciary shall maintain appropriate records showing the interest of each beneficiary in that net income.   A fiduciary may apply the rules in this section, to the extent that the fiduciary considers it appropriate, to net gain or loss realized after the date of death or terminating event or earlier distribution date from the disposition of a principal asset if this section applies to the income from the asset.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 35 - Fiduciaries and Trust Estates|Chapter 6 - Uniform Principal and Income Act|Part 3 - Apportionment at Beginning and End of Income Interest|§ 35-6-301. When Right to Income Begins and Ends

  An income beneficiary is entitled to net income from the date on which the income interest begins. An income interest begins on the date specified in the terms of the trust or, if no date is specified, on the date an asset becomes subject to a trust or successive income interest.   An asset becomes subject to a trust:  On the date it is transferred to the trust in the case of an asset that is transferred to a trust during the transferor's life;   On the date of a testator's death in the case of an asset that becomes subject to a trust by reason of a will, even if there is an intervening period of administration of the testator's estate; or   On the date of an individual's death in the case of an asset that is transferred to a fiduciary by a third party because of the individual's death.     An asset becomes subject to a successive income interest on the day after the preceding income interest ends, as determined under subsection (d), even if there is an intervening period of administration to wind up the preceding income interest.   An income interest ends on the day before an income beneficiary dies or another terminating event occurs, or on the last day of a period during which there is no beneficiary to whom a trustee may distribute income.
TN Code § 35-6-302 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 35 - Fiduciaries and Trust Estates|Chapter 6 - Uniform Principal and Income Act|Part 3 - Apportionment at Beginning and End of Income Interest|§ 35-6-302. Apportionment of Receipts and Disbursements When Decedent Dies or Income Interest Begins

  A trustee shall allocate an income receipt or disbursement other than one to which § 35-6-201(1) applies to principal if its due date occurs before a decedent dies in the case of an estate or before an income interest begins in the case of a trust or successive income interest.   A trustee shall allocate an income receipt or disbursement to income if its due date occurs on or after the date on which a decedent dies or an income interest begins and it is a periodic due date. An income receipt or disbursement must be treated as accruing from day to day if its due date is not periodic or it has no due date. The portion of the receipt or disbursement accruing before the date on which a decedent dies or an income interest begins must be allocated to principal and the balance must be allocated to income.   An item of income or an obligation is due on the date the payer is required to make a payment. If a payment date is not stated, there is no due date for the purposes of this chapter. Distributions to shareholders or other owners from an entity to which § 35-6-401 applies are deemed to be due on the date fixed by the entity for determining who is entitled to receive the distribution or, if no date is fixed, on the declaration date for the distribution. A due date is periodic for receipts or disbursements that must be paid at regular intervals under a lease or an obligation to pay interest or if an entity customarily makes distributions at regular intervals.
