Abstract

In this article, Alan Newman examines the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees managing revocable trusts under the Ohio Trust Code (OTC) during the settlor's lifetime. He analyzes the implications of R.C. §5806.03(A), which stipulates that a trustee's duties are owed exclusively to the settlor while the trust remains revocable and the settlor is alive. Newman discusses the balance between the settlor's control over the trust and the trustee's obligations, highlighting potential challenges and considerations in trust administration during the settlor's lifetime.
