Creditor claims — Rules.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 60. Property

A. Whether or not the terms of a trust contain a spendthrift

provision, the following rules apply:

1. Except as provided by the laws of this state, during the

lifetime of the settlor, the property of a revocable trust is

subject to claims of the settlor's creditors; and

2. Except as provided by the laws of this state, after the

death of a settlor, and subject to the settlor's right to direct the

source from which liabilities will be paid, the property of a trust

that was revocable at the settlor's death is subject to claims of

the settlor's creditors, costs of administration of the settlor's

estate, the expenses of the settlor's funeral and disposal of

remains, and statutory allowances to a surviving spouse and children

to the extent the settlor's probate estate is inadequate to satisfy

those claims, costs, expenses, and allowances.

B. For purposes of this section:

1. During the period the power may be exercised, the holder of

a power of withdrawal is treated in the same manner as the settlor

of a revocable trust to the extent of the property subject to the

power; and

2. Upon the lapse, release, or waiver of the power, the holder

is treated as the settlor of the trust only to the extent the value

of the property affected by the lapse, release, or waiver exceeds

the greater of the amount specified in Section 2041(b)(2) or 2514(e)

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or Section 2503(b) of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in each case as in effect on the

effective date of this act, or as later amended.
