130.518 Creditor protections retained upon conveyance of property held as tenants by the entirety to revocable trust.
(1)Real property of spouses married to each other that was held as tenants by the entirety and subsequently conveyed to the trustee or trustees of the joint revocable trust of the spouses or of the separate revocable trust of each spouse shall have the same immunity from the claims of a spouse’s creditors as would exist if the spouses had continued to hold the property as tenants by the entirety, if:
(a)The spouses remain married to each other;
(b)The real property continues to be held in trust by the trustee or trustees or the successor trustee or trustees; and
(c)Both spouses are beneficiaries of the trust or trusts, including where both spouses are current beneficiaries of one trust that holds the entire property or each spouse is a current beneficiary of a separate trust and the two separate trusts together hold the entire property, whether or not other persons are also current or future beneficiaries of the trust or trusts.
(2)The protection from the claims of separate creditors under this section may be waived as to any specific creditor, including any separate creditor of either spouse, or any specifically described property, including any former tenancy by the entirety property conveyed into trust, by the trustee acting under the express provision of a trust instrument or with the written consent of both spouses. [2021 c.272 §7]
