IT IS AGREED:

_________[Name] as trustee under this instrument, is about to take legal and equitable title to the following described real estate in _________[city], _________[state], otherwise known as: _________[legal description].

When the trustee has taken title to the real estate or has accepted in writing title to any other property conveyed to it as trustee under this instrument, the trustee will hold it for the uses and purposes and on the trusts stated below. Any other property conveyed to the trustee without written acceptance by the trustee shall not be subject to this agreement.

The following named persons and their successors in interest shall be entitled to the earnings, avails, and proceeds of the real estate according to the respective interests set forth here:

The following name(s) should be furnished to a person making an oral inquiry: _________.

In the event of the death or resignation of the trustee, the successor trustee shall be _________[name] of _________[city].

The interest of every beneficiary and of any person who may become entitled to any interest under this trust shall consist only of (1) the power to direct the trustee to deal with title to the property; (2) the power to manage, possess, use, and control the property; and (3) the right to receive the earnings, avails, and proceeds from leases and other uses and from mortgages, sales, and other dispositions of the property. These rights and powers shall be personal property and may be assigned this way. On the death of any beneficiary, his or her interest, except as otherwise specifically provided, shall pass to his or her executor or administrator and not to his or her heirs at law. No beneficiary at any time shall have any right, title, or interest in or to any portion of the legal or equitable title to the property. The death of any beneficiary shall not terminate the trust or affect the rights or powers of the trustee or of the beneficiaries except as provided by law.

No assignment of any beneficial interest shall be binding on the trustee until the original or executed duplicate of the assignment is delivered to the trustee and accepted by it in writing. Every assignment of any beneficial interest, the original or duplicate of which shall not have been so delivered to and accepted by the trustee, shall be ineffective as to all subsequent assignees or purchasers without notice.

The trustee shall have no obligation to file any income, profit, or other tax reports or returns or to pay those or any other taxes. The beneficiaries will make all tax returns and reports, and pay general real estate and all other taxes or charges payable with respect to the property and to the earnings, avails, and proceeds of the property or based on their interests under this agreement.

If the trustee makes any advances or incurs any expenses on account of this trust or the property or incurs any expenses by reason of being made a party of any litigation in connection with this trust or the property, or if the trustee is compelled to pay money on account of this trust or the property, whether for breach of contract, injury to person or property, fines or penalties under any law, or otherwise, the beneficiaries jointly and severally on demand shall pay to the trustee, with interest at the highest rate per year permitted by law the amount of all expenses, advances, or payments made by the trustee, plus all its expenses, including attorney fees. The trustee shall not be obliged to convey, transfer, or otherwise deal with the property or any part of it until all of the payments, advances, and expenses made or incurred by it have been paid, with interest.

The trustee shall not be obligated to pay any money for this trust or the property or to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding involving this trust or the property unless it elects to do so and is furnished with sufficient funds or indemnified to its satisfaction. If the trustee is served with process or notice of legal proceedings or of any other matter concerning the trust or the property, the sole duty of the trustee shall be to forward the process or notice to the person named here as the person to whom inquiries or notices shall be sent, or, in the absence of such designation, to the beneficiaries. The latest address appearing in the records of the trustee shall be used for all mailings.

It shall not be the duty of the purchaser of the property or of any part of it to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall anyone who may deal with the trustee be required or privileged to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act of the trustee, or into the provisions of this agreement.

This agreement shall not be recorded but any recording shall not be notice of the rights of any person derogatory to the title or powers of the trustee. In this agreement the plural includes the singular, and vice versa, and the masculine gender includes the feminine.

The trustee may, at any time, resign by sending by registered or certified mail, a notice of that intention to each of the then beneficiaries at his or her latest address appearing in the records of the trustee. In the event of the resignation or the death of the trustee, unless a successor trustee is set forth in this trust agreement, the person or persons then entitled to direct the trustee in the disposition of the property may appoint a successor or successors to the trust property by any method allowed by the statutes of the State of _________. In lieu of this method, the person or persons may appoint a successor or successors to the trust property, in writing, and obtain the written consent to the appointment by the successors or successors of the trust property. The person or persons then entitled to direct the trustee in the disposition of the property shall file a declaration of appointment of the successor or successors in the office of the Recorder of Deeds in the county in which the trust property is located or with the Registrar of Titles of the county in which the trust property is situated if the title to the trust property is registered under an act entitled _________["An Act Concerning Land Titles Approved May 1, 1987"] as now or later amended. The declaration shall set forth the legal description of the trust property, the name and address of the former trustee, and the name and address of the successor in trust, and be signed by a party with personal knowledge of the terms of this agreement and of the actions taken by the person or persons entitled to direct the trustee in the disposition of the property. If requested by the Registrar of Titles or any title insurer insuring title to the property, the person or persons then entitled to direct the trustee in the disposition of the property may provide a copy of this trust agreement to that party but this agreement shall not be recorded or registered in any county.

Solely on the resignation of the trustee, if no successor trustee is set forth in this trust agreement, the person or persons then entitled to direct the trustee in the disposition of the property, may either proceed in accordance with the foregoing paragraph or may appoint a successor, in writing, and the trustee shall then convey or transfer the property to that successor. If no notice of resignation is given by the trustee, the trustee may convey or transfer the trust property to the beneficiaries in accordance with their interests under this instrument and the conveyance may be recorded or registered, as the case may be, by the trustee. This recording or registration shall constitute delivery of the conveyance or transfer to the beneficiaries.

The trustee, at its option, may file a complaint for appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Every successor trustee shall become fully vested with all the title, estate, rights, powers, and trusts, and shall be subject to the duties and obligations, of its predecessor.

It is agreed by the parties and by any person who may later acquire any interest in this trust that the trustee will deal with the trust property including cash or other assets of any kind which may have become subject to the trust only when authorized to do so in writing.

On the written direction of the party or parties designated here as having the power of direction the trustee will make deeds for the trust property, or mortgages or trust deeds (which may include a waiver of the right of redemption from sale under an order or decree of foreclosure), execute leases or otherwise deal with the title to the trust property, including cash or other assets subject to the trust. The beneficiaries, by written instrument delivered to the trustee, may revoke the foregoing power of direction and designate the person later to exercise the power. This instrument shall be signed by all the then beneficiaries. The trustee shall not be required to inquire into the propriety of any direction.

The trustee shall not be required to assume any personal obligations or liability in dealing with the property or to make itself liable for any damages, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties, or to deal with title to the property so long as any money is due to it under this instrument.

The beneficiaries have the sole possession, management, and control of the selling, renting, repairing, maintaining, and handling of the property, and the trustee shall have no right or duty in respect to any matters of this nature. The beneficiaries have the right to execute leases and collect rents in their own name or through their agents. The trustee shall have no right or duty in respect to the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance, litigation, or other matters relating to the property, except on written direction accepted by it and after the payment to it of all money necessary in its opinion to carry out the directions without liability to it. The beneficiaries are not the agents of the trustee for any purpose and do not have any authority to contract or to execute leases or do any other act for or in the name of the trustee or to obligate the trustee personally or as trustee.

The trustee shall not be required to execute any instrument containing covenants of warranty.

If any property remains in this trust twenty years from the date of this agreement or any extension of it, it shall be sold at public sale by the trustee on reasonable notice as determined by it and the net proceeds of the sale shall be divided among those who are then entitled to the proceeds under this agreement in the proportions in which they are then entitled.
