Abstract

Section I of this comment examines the historical background of the Claflin doctrine. Section II discusses Texas cases applying the Claflin doctrine. Section III critically analyzes Section 112.054 which restricts premature trust termination. Section IV proposes adopting an amendment to the Texas Property Code to permit premature judicial termination of a non-spendthrift trust if all beneficiaries are sui juris and consent.
