These are the sample trust form provisions referenced in the February 2008 article “Drafting Florida Trusts” by Powell and Klooster. Trusts & Estates editors have not edited these sample provisions either for content or for style and do not vouchsafe their efficacy. The authors offer these form provisions merely as fodder for practitioners’ consideration. These form provisions do not constitute tax advice Trusts & Estates magazine and should not be treated as such.
Form II-A
“Mandatory State Law Provisions. Applicable state law, including, while applicable, Florida Statutes § 736.0105(2), may provide certain mandatory and non-waivable provisions that apply to each trust created under this trust instrument. The Settlor hereby acknowledges the applicability of these provisions.”
Form III-A
“Applicable Law.
(a) Validity. The validity of each trust created under this trust instrument shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, as the Settlor is a domiciliary of the State of Florida as of the date this trust is created.
(b) Construction. This trust instrument shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, as a sufficient nexus to the State of Florida within the meaning of Florida Statutes § 736.0107(1) exists as of the date this trust is created.
(c) Administration.
(i) Initial Applicable Law. Initially, each trust created under this trust instrument shall be administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, as a sufficient connection to the State of Florida within the meaning of Florida Statutes § 736.0108(1) exists as this trust is created.
(ii) Waiver of Duty to Determine Appropriate Place of Administration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Florida Statutes § 736.0108(4), with respect to each trust created under this trust instrument, the Trustee shall have no continuing duty to administer the trust at a place appropriate to its purposes and its administration.
(iii) Transfer of Principal Place of Administration. The Trustee, without court approval, may amend this subsection in order to change the jurisdiction whose law governs the administration of any trust created under this trust instrument and may amend any other provision of this trust instrument for the purpose of qualifying any trust under this trust instrument to be governed by the law of another jurisdiction. The jurisdiction whose law governs the administration of any trust may be the same as the situs of such trust. Notwithstanding the provisions of Florida Statutes § 736.0108(6), the Trustee is not required to notify the qualified beneficiaries of the trust in exercising the power granted to the Trustee by this subsection.” 1
Form IV-A
“Purpose of Trust and Intent of Settlor Regarding Trust Modification. The Settlor appreciates that, do to changing circumstances, it may at some point in the future be desirable from the perspective of a beneficiary to seek the amendment of this trust instrument. Notwithstanding this possibility, it is the Settlor’s intent and belief that the best interests of the trust beneficiaries are served by the current provisions of this trust instrument and it is therefore the Settlor’s hope and desire that those provisions remain in effect notwithstanding the contrary views of the trust beneficiaries.
Form IV-B
“Discretionary Termination by Trustee. If at any time any trust created under this trust instrument is, in the sole judgment of the Trustee, of the aggregate principal value of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or less, or if the Trustee’s compensation for services rendered exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the net income of the trust, the Trustee (other than a Restricted Trustee) may, but need not, terminate the trust and distribute the trust estate to the beneficiary or beneficiaries then receiving or entitled to receive the net income from the trust, in proportionate shares.

In accordance with the provisions of F.S. § 736.0802(2)(a), the Settlor directs that, notwithstanding these conflicts the Trustee may:
(a) participate in the exercise of any and all rights and powers granted the Trustee with respect to the trust estate;
(b) the exercise any and all rights and powers with the respect to the retention, continuation, termination or disposition of any business entity in which the trust holds an interest regardless of the fact that the Trustee is a fiduciary or owns interests in the same business entity; and

Form V-E
Language similar to the following could be considered to authorize double fees:

Any person or entity affiliated with any party who is acting in a fiduciary capacity pursuant to this trust instrument with respect to any trust is entitled to receive from the trust a fair and just compensation for services rendered to the trust, without reduction for any other compensation paid the fiduciary, an affiliate of the fiduciary or any other person or entity.” 7
Language similar to the following could be considered to prohibit double fees:

If a fiduciary participates in the decision to invest in any investment instrument (as defined in FS § 660.25) owned or controlled by the fiduciary or an affiliate of the fiduciary or to engage any affiliate of the fiduciary to render services to the trust, the fiduciary shall credit against the compensation the fiduciary may otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section the amount of all fees, compensation or commissions paid from the trust estate to the fiduciary or an affiliate of the fiduciary for investing in those investment instruments or for rendering those services.” 8
Form V-F
Form acknowledging and authorizing power granted by decanting statute:
“Discretionary Distributions. With respect to each trust created under this trust instrument, it is the Settlor’s desire that the Trustee exercise its discretionary powers to benefit the current beneficiary of the trust, rather than any remaindermen, even to the extent of terminating the trust by distributing the entire trust estate to the beneficiary at any point in time following the creation of the trust and thereby eliminating the contingent interest of any remaindermen. Accordingly, with respect to each trust created under this trust instrument, the Trustee may disregard the interests of the remaindermen in making discretionary distributions to a current beneficiary. If there is more than one current beneficiary, distributions may be made to all or any one or more of them in such equal or unequal proportions and amounts as the Trustee, in it’s discretion may determine, including distributing all or nothing to any one or more of the beneficiaries, and there shall be no adjustment among the beneficiaries by reason of any distribution. The determination of the amount of net income or principal of a trust to be distributed to or for the benefit of a beneficiary is in the sole discretion of the Trustee. Without notice to the qualified beneficiaries, a Trustee authorized to make distributions to or for the benefit of a beneficiary may, by an instrument in writing, signed and acknowledged by the Trustee and filed with the records of the trust, instead exercise the power by appointing all or part of the principal of the trust subject to the power in favor of a Trustee of another trust for the benefit of one (1) or more of the beneficiaries under the same trust instrument or under a different trust instrument, provided the exercise otherwise complies with the provisions of F.S. § 736.04117.
Form prohibiting use of the power granted by decanting statute:
“Discretionary Distributions. With respect to each trust created under this trust instrument, it is the Settlor’s desire that the Trustee exercise its discretionary powers to benefit the current beneficiary of the trust, rather than any remaindermen, even to the extent of terminating the trust by distributing the entire trust estate to the beneficiary at any point in time following the creation of the trust and thereby eliminating the contingent interest of any remaindermen. Accordingly, with respect to each trust created under this trust instrument, the Trustee may disregard the interests of the remaindermen in making discretionary distributions to a current beneficiary. If there are more than one current beneficiary, distributions may be made to all or any one or more of them in such equal or unequal proportions and amounts as the Trustee, its discretion may determine, including distributing all or nothing to any one or more of the beneficiaries, and there shall be no adjustment among the beneficiaries by reason of any distribution. The determination of the amount of net income or principal of a trust to be distributed to or for the benefit of a beneficiary is in the sole discretion of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of F.S. § 736.04117 to the contrary, a Trustee who is authorized to make distributions to or for the benefit of a beneficiary, shall not exercise the power by appointing all or part of the principal of the trust subject to the power in favor of a Trustee of another trust for the benefit of one (1) or more of the beneficiaries under the same trust instrument or under a different trust instrument.

(viii) Appointment of Successor Designated Representatives in Default of Designation.
