Section 15403 Of Chapter 3. Modification And Termination Of Trusts From California Probate Code >> Division 9. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 3.
15403
. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), if all
beneficiaries of an irrevocable trust consent, they may compel
modification or termination of the trust upon petition to the court.
(b) If the continuance of the trust is necessary to carry out a
material purpose of the trust, the trust cannot be modified or
terminated unless the court, in its discretion, determines that the
reason for doing so under the circumstances outweighs the interest in
accomplishing a material purpose of the trust. Under this section
the court does not have discretion to permit termination of a trust
that is subject to a valid restraint on transfer of the beneficiary's
interest as provided in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 15300).
