Proceedings relating to trusts are governed by statute; the rules of civil procedure apply only if they do not conflict with the statute. Minn.R.Civ.P. 81.01. The district court must conduct a hearing when a section 501B.16 petition is filed. Minn. Stat. § 501B.18 (1994). But this general hearing requirement does not conflict with rule 12.03, governing motions for judgment on the pleadings. In addition, a district court has broad discretion in its ongoing supervision of a trust. In re Trust of Bailey, 241 Minn. 143, 151, 62 N.W.2d 829, 834 (1954). The court acted within its discretion in holding a preliminary hearing to consider dismissal or summary judgment on the income beneficiaries’ claims.
