Maryland § 14.5-501

§ 14.5-501.

    (a)    A court may authorize a creditor or an assignee of a beneficiary to reach the interest of the beneficiary by attachment of present or future distributions to or for the benefit of the beneficiary or by other means if that interest is not subject to a discretionary distribution provision, a support provision, or a spendthrift provision.

    (b)    The court may limit the amount, timing, or other terms and conditions of an award under this section to relief as is appropriate under the circumstances considering, among other factors:

        (1)    The support needs of the beneficiary, the spouse of the beneficiary, the former spouse of the beneficiary, and the dependent children of the beneficiary;

        (2)    With respect to a beneficiary that is the recipient of public benefits, the supplemental needs of the beneficiary if the trust was not intended to provide for the basic support of the beneficiary; and

        (3)    The amount of the claim of the creditor or assignee and the likely proceeds that a sale would produce as compared to the potential value of the interest to the beneficiary.
