Riley v. Tougas (In Re Tougas)

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that because debtor, as co-settlor and sole trustee of trust, retained broad power to alter and amend trust and retained incidents of ownership of trust res, the trust and trust res were property of debtor’s bankruptcy estate; debtor also ignored provisions of trust
• absence of a clause providing the power to change beneficiaries irrelevant because power of amendment provided that ability
• debtor had unrestricted power of amendment and revocation which gave her the power to convey the trust property to herself
