Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided June 21, 2013No. 11–0935PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

APPEL, Justice.

In this case, we must consider whether remainder beneficiaries may enforce the terms of a spendthrift trust against the trustee when the remainder beneficiaries previously purported to convey what was at the time a future interest in real estate held by the trust. For the reasons expressed below, we hold that the applicable statute of limitations bars the remainder beneficiaries from enforcing the terms of the spendthrift clause of the decedent’s will. As a result, we vacate the decision of the court of appeals and affirm the judgment of the district court.
