In Re: Christian Family Trust

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed an order authorizing payment of a law firm's claim from trust assets. It held that a creditor may pursue a settlor's trust assets when the settlor's interest is not solely discretionary and no spendthrift provision bars the claim, and that the trustees acted within their broad discretion in approving payment. The court also held that the creditor satisfied the applicable filing requirements and that the appeal was neither improperly brought nor moot.
