In Re the Revocable Trust of Margolis · 2007 1 citation

Respondent urges this court to construe “legal support ... obligation” as an obligation for which the trustee is primarily liable. According to respondent, the statute only prohibits a trustee from using trust funds to discharge a legal obligation when the obligation is primarily the trustee’s and not also the beneficiary’s. In contrast, appellant urges us to construe the phrase “legal support ... obligation” according to its plain meaning. Appellant argues that by using trust funds to pay for Naomi’s medical care, respondent unlawfully discharged his legal-support obligations pursuant to the nursing-home contract he signed and as her husband pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 519.05(a) (2006). By contract and by law, respondent was liable for Naomi’s medical care.
