2021 Colorado Code|Title 15 - Probate, Trusts, and Fiduciaries|Article 1.5 - Colorado Uniform Custodial Trust Act|§ 15-1.5-116. Limitations of Action Against Custodial Trustee

  Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, unless previously barred by adjudication, consent, or limitation, a claim for relief against a custodial trustee for accounting or breach of duty is barred as to a beneficiary, a person to whom custodial trust property is to be paid or delivered, or the legal representative of an incapacitated or deceased beneficiary or payee:   Who has received a final account or statement fully disclosing the matter unless an action or proceeding to assert the claim is commenced within two years after receipt of the final account or statement; or    Who has not received a final account or statement fully disclosing the matter unless an action or proceeding to assert the claim is commenced within three years after the termination of the custodial trust.       Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, a claim for relief to recover from a custodial trustee for fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment related to the final settlement of the custodial trust or concealment of the existence of the custodial trust is barred unless an action or proceeding to assert the claim is commenced within five years after the termination of the custodial trust.    A claim for relief is not barred by this section if the claimant:   Is a minor, until the earlier of two years after the claimant becomes an adult or dies;    Is an incapacitated adult, until the earliest of two years after the appointment of a conservator, the removal of the incapacity, or the death of the claimant; or    Was an adult, now deceased, who was not incapacitated, until two years after the claimant's death.        History. Source: L. 99: Entire article added, p. 1221, § 1, effective August 4.    OFFICIAL COMMENT   In an effort to provide as comprehensive a statute as possible to inform the parties of substantially all of their obligations and rights, statutes of limitation are provided in this section. The limitations provided in this section are derived from the Uniform Probate Code, Sections 1-106 and 7-307, and from the Missouri Custodial Act.   The nature of the limitations imposed by the section are illustrated by the situation in which a custodial trustee is removed, resigns, or dies. If the former custodial trustee accounts as required under section 15-1.5-113 on removal or resignation, or the deceased custodial trustee's personal representative accounts, the two-year limitation of subsection (1)(a) applies. Should the former custodial trustee or the personal representative fail to account, then, subsection (1)(b) would apply to limit the time in which a proceeding to assert the claim could be commenced. This time would begin to run on the date the trust terminated. Of course, if the claim is one for fraud or concealment, the longer time limitation of subsection (2) would apply. In any event, should the beneficiary become incapacitated or die before the applicable time limitation had expired, the tolling provision of subsection (3) could postpone the time bar until two years after removal of the disability or death.
