ascertainable standard definition
(The choice of trustee, e.g., bank, professional or family member, is for a different Post.). This question is typically addressed in large part with ascertainable standards in the Trust instrument. Ascertainable standards are designed to balance the needs of the beneficiary and the power afforded to the trustee. The ascertainable standards are health, education, support, and maintenance as provided under Section 2041 of the Internal Revenue Code.
