A Massachusetts Agreement to Extend the Duration or Term of a Trust is a legal document that allows the parties involved in a trust agreement to prolong its duration beyond the original predetermined timeframe. This extension provides flexibility and options for the trust's beneficiaries and allows for the preservation of assets or the fulfillment of specific purposes. In Massachusetts, there are primarily two types of agreements to extend the duration or term of a trust: 1. General Agreement to Extend the Duration of a Trust: This type of agreement allows for a straightforward extension of the trust's duration. It may be used when there is a need to maintain the trust's structure, protect assets, or provide ongoing financial support or specific services to the beneficiaries for a longer period than initially planned. The beneficiaries and the trustee(s) must consent to the extension and sign the agreement. 2. Massachusetts Conservation Restriction Agreement: This type of agreement applies specifically to trusts that involve the protection and preservation of land, natural resources, or wildlife habitats. It allows the trustees to extend the term of the trust for conservation purposes, ensuring that the designated areas are safeguarded against development or any activities that could harm the conservation objectives. Usually, nonprofit organizations, government entities, or private landowners are involved in such agreements.
