Syllabus

General rules of interpretation of written instruments apply to the construction of trust documents. When a trust agreement is unambiguous, the settlor's intent is ascertained from the language of the agreement itself. Under N.D.C.C. § 47-05-17, the right of access to land to hunt game animals or game birds may not be severed from the surface estate.
