Except for a trust established by a court under section 475.092, 475.093, 511.030, or 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4), a noncharitable irrevocable trust may be modified or terminated upon consent of the settlor and all beneficiaries, without court approval, even if the modification or termination is inconsistent with a material purpose of the trust. A settlor's power to consent to a trust's termination or modification may be exercised by an agent under a power of attorney only to the extent expressly authorized by the power of attorney or the terms of the trust; by the settlor's conservator with the approval of the court supervising the conservatorship if an agent is not so authorized; or by the settlor's conservator ad litem with the approval of the court if an agent is not so authorized and a conservator has not been appointed.\n2. Upon termination of a trust under subsection 1 of this section, the trustee shall distribute the trust property as agreed by the beneficiaries.\n3. If not all of the beneficiaries consent to a proposed modification or termination of the trust under subsection 1 of this section, the modification or termination may be approved by the court if the court is satisfied that:\n(1) if all of the beneficiaries had consented, the trust could have been modified or terminated under subsection 1 of this section; and\n(2) the interests of a beneficiary who does not consent will be adequately protected.","path":["Title XXXI - TRUSTS AND ESTATES OF DECEDENTS AND PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY","Chapter 456 - Trusts and Trustees — The Uniform Trust Code"],"source_url":"https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=456.4-411A","current_through":"2026 legislative session (floor)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T22:23:28Z","sha256":"f19c2ce1f53f99c81e9a5d704c5c57581be2119a77a46333355feb36d2c752eb","source_id":"us-mo","stale":false,"prev":"us-mo/mo.-rev.-stat.-456.4-410","next":"us-mo/mo.-rev.-stat.-456.4-411b"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
