2-3-803. Fiduciary duties; general principles.| (a) In allocating receipts and disbursements to or between principal and income, and with respect to any matter within the scope of W.S. 2-3-806 through 2-3-810, a fiduciary:  (i) 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 act;  (ii) 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 act, and no inference that the fiduciary has improperly exercised the discretion arises from the fact that the fiduciary has made an allocation contrary to a provision of this act;  (iii) Shall administer a trust or estate in accordance with this act 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  (iv) Shall add a receipt or charge a disbursement to principal to the extent that the terms of the trust and this act do not provide a rule for allocating the receipt or disbursement to or between principal and income.  (b) In exercising the power to adjust under W.S. 2-3-804(a) or a discretionary power of administration regarding a matter within the scope of this act, whether granted by the terms of a trust, a will, or this act, a fiduciary shall administer a trust or estate impartially, based on what is fair and reasonable to all of the beneficiaries, except to the extent that the terms of the trust or the will clearly manifest an intention that the fiduciary shall or may favor one (1) or more of the beneficiaries. A determination in accordance with this act is presumed to be fair and reasonable to all of the beneficiaries.
WY Stat § 2-3-807 (2021)
2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 2 - Wills, Decedents' Estates and Probate Code|Chapter 3 - Fiduciaries|Article 8 - Principal and Income|Section 2-3-807 - Distribution to Residuary and Remainder Beneficiaries.

2-3-807. Distribution to residuary and remainder beneficiaries.| (a) Each beneficiary described in W.S. 2-3-806(a)(iv) 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.  (b) In determining a beneficiary's share of net income, the following rules apply:  (i) 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;  (ii) 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;  (iii) 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; and  (iv) 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.  (c) 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.  (d) 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.
WY Stat § 2-3-808 (2021)
2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 2 - Wills, Decedents' Estates and Probate Code|Chapter 3 - Fiduciaries|Article 8 - Principal and Income|Section 2-3-808 - When Right to Income Begins and Ends.

2-3-808. When right to income begins and ends.| (a) 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.  (b) An asset becomes subject to a trust:  (i) 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;  (ii) 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  (iii) 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.  (c) An asset becomes subject to a successive income interest on the day after the preceding income interest ends, as determined under subsection (d) of this section, even if there is an intervening period of administration to wind up the preceding income interest.  (d) 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.
WY Stat § 2-3-809 (2021)
2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 2 - Wills, Decedents' Estates and Probate Code|Chapter 3 - Fiduciaries|Article 8 - Principal and Income|Section 2-3-809 - Apportionment of Receipts and Disbursements When Decedent Dies or Income Interest Begins.

2-3-809. Apportionment of receipts and disbursements when decedent dies or income interest begins.| (a) A trustee shall allocate an income receipt or disbursement other than one to which W.S. 2-3-806(a)(i) 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.  (b) 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.  (c) 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 act. Distributions to shareholders or other owners from an entity to which W.S. 2-3-810 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.

2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 2 - Wills, Decedents' Estates and Probate Code|Chapter 3 - Fiduciaries|Article 8 - Principal and Income|Section 2-3-810 - Apportionment When Income Interest Ends.

2-3-810. Apportionment when income interest ends.| (a) In this section, "undistributed income" means net income received before the date on which an income interest ends. The term does not include an item of income or expense that is due or accrued or net income that has been added or is required to be added to principal under the terms of the trust.  (b) When a mandatory income interest ends, the trustee shall pay to a mandatory income beneficiary who survives that date, or the estate of a deceased mandatory income beneficiary whose death causes the interest to end, the beneficiary's share of the undistributed income that is not disposed of under the terms of the trust unless the beneficiary has an unqualified power to revoke more than five percent (5%) of the trust immediately before the income interest ends. In the latter case, the undistributed income from the portion of the trust that may be revoked must be added to principal.  (c) When a trustee's obligation to pay a fixed annuity or a fixed fraction of the value of the trust's assets ends, the trustee shall prorate the final payment if and to the extent required by applicable law to accomplish a purpose of the trust or its settlor relating to income, gift, estate or other tax requirements.

(d) Money is received in partial liquidation:  (i) To the extent that the entity, at or near the time of a distribution, indicates that it is a distribution in partial liquidation; or  (ii) If the total amount of money and property received in a distribution or series of related distributions is greater than twenty percent (20%) of the entity's gross assets, as shown by the entity's year-end financial statements immediately preceding the initial receipt.  (e) Money is not received in partial liquidation, nor may it be taken into account under paragraph (d)(ii) of this section, to the extent that it does not exceed the amount of income tax that a trustee or beneficiary must pay on taxable income of the entity that distributes the money.  (f) A trustee may rely upon a statement made by an entity about the source or character of a distribution if the statement is made at or near the time of distribution by the entity's board of directors or other person or group of persons authorized to exercise powers to pay money or transfer property comparable to those of a corporation's board of directors.

2-3-813. Business and other activities conducted by trustee.| (a) If a trustee who conducts a business or other activity determines that it is in the best interest of all the beneficiaries to account separately for the business or activity instead of accounting for it as part of the trust's general accounting records, the trustee may maintain separate accounting records for its transactions, whether or not its assets are segregated from other trust assets.  (b) A trustee who accounts separately for a business or other activity may determine the extent to which its net cash receipts must be retained for working capital, the acquisition or replacement of fixed assets, and other reasonably foreseeable needs of the business or activity, and the extent to which the remaining net cash receipts are accounted for as principal or income in the trust's general accounting records. If a trustee sells assets of the business or other activity, other than in the ordinary course of the business or activity, the trustee shall account for the net amount received as principal in the trust's general accounting records to the extent the trustee determines that the amount received is no longer required in the conduct of the business.  (c) Activities for which a trustee may maintain separate accounting records include:  (i) Retail, manufacturing, service and other traditional business activities;  (ii) Farming;  (iii) Raising and selling livestock and other animals;  (iv) Management of rental properties;  (v) Extraction of minerals and other natural resources;  (vi) Timber operations; and  (vii) Activities to which W.S. 2-3-824 applies.

(b) A trustee shall allocate to principal an amount received from the sale, redemption or other disposition of an obligation to pay money to the trustee more than one (1) year after it is purchased or acquired by the trustee, including an obligation the purchase price or value of which when it is acquired is less than its value at maturity. If the obligation matures within one (1) year after it is purchased or acquired by the trustee, an amount received in excess of its purchase price or its value when acquired by the trust must be allocated to income.
