§ 3374. Transfers from income to reimburse principal

  • (a) If a trustee makes or expects to make a principal disbursement described in this section,
    the trustee may transfer an appropriate amount from income to principal in one or
    more accounting periods to reimburse principal or to provide a reserve for future
    principal disbursements. (b) Principal disbursements to which subsection (a) of this section applies include the
    following, but only to the extent that the trustee has not been and does not expect
    to be reimbursed by a third party: (1) an amount chargeable to income but paid from principal because it is unusually large,
    including extraordinary repairs; (2) a capital improvement to a principal asset, whether in the form of changes to an existing
    asset or the construction of a new asset, including special assessments; (3) disbursements made to prepare property for rental, including tenant allowances, leasehold
    improvements, and broker’s commissions; (4) periodic payments on an obligation secured by a principal asset to the extent that
    the amount transferred from income to principal for depreciation is less than the
    periodic payments; and (5) disbursements described in subdivision 3372(a)(7) of this title. (c) If the asset whose ownership gives rise to the disbursements becomes subject to a
    successive income interest after an income interest ends, a trustee may continue to
    transfer amounts from income to principal as provided in subsection (a) of this section. (Added 2011, No. 114 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
