Citation: ORS 129.405

Section: 129.405

129.405 to the extent that the will, the terms of the trust or applicable law requires the fiduciary to make the payment from assets other than the property or to the extent that the fiduciary recovers or expects to recover the payment from a third party. The net income and principal receipts from the property are determined by including all of the amounts the fiduciary receives or pays with respect to the property, whether those amounts accrued or became due before, on or after the date of a decedent�s death or an income interest�s terminating event, and by making a reasonable provision for amounts that the fiduciary believes the estate or terminating income interest may become obligated to pay after the property is distributed. [2003 c.279 �5; 2011 c.526 �23]

����� 129.255 UPIA 202. Distribution to residuary and remainder beneficiaries. (1) Each beneficiary described in ORS 129.250 (4) 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 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.

����� (2) In determining a beneficiary�s share of net income, the following rules apply:

����� (a) 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.

����� (b) 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.

����� (c) 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.

����� (d) 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.

����� (3) 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.

����� (4) 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.

APPORTIONMENT AT BEGINNING AND END OF INCOME INTEREST

����� 129.270 UPIA 301. When right to income begins and ends. (1) 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.

����� (2) An asset becomes subject to a trust:

����� (a) 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;

����� (b) 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

����� (c) 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.

����� (3) An asset becomes subject to a successive income interest on the day after the preceding income interest ends, as determined under subsection (4) of this section, even if there is an intervening period of administration to wind up the preceding income interest.

����� (4) 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. [2003 c.279 �7]

����� 129.275 UPIA 302. Apportionment of receipts and disbursements when decedent dies or income interest begins. (1) A trustee shall allocate an income receipt or disbursement other than one to which ORS 129.250 (1) 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.

����� (2) 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.

����� (3) 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 chapter. Distributions to shareholders or other owners from an entity to which ORS 129.300 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. [2003 c.279 �8]

����� 129.280 UPIA 303. Apportionment when income interest ends. (1) 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.

����� (2) 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 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.

����� (3) 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. [2003 c.279 �9]

����� 129.300 UPIA 401. Character of receipts. (1) In this section, �entity� means a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund or any other organization in which a trustee has an interest other than a trust or estate to which ORS 129.305 applies, a business or activity to which ORS 129.308 applies or an asset-backed security to which ORS
