New Maryland Trust Code

Maryland has passed the Maryland Trust Act (MTA), which will enact the Uniform Trust Code, with some changes. One difference includes that the MTA differs from the UTC in which law governs. Additionally, unlike the UTC, the MTA will not allow for nonjudicial settlement agreements, and will require court approval for trust administration changes. The MTC will be in effect as of January 1, 2015.
