Potential breach-of-trust claim facts disclosed, if any: [IDENTIFY THE CONDUCT, TRANSACTION, DATES, AMOUNTS, AND REPORT OR SCHEDULE PAGES THAT ALLOW THE BENEFICIARY TO RECOGNIZE OR INQUIRE INTO THE POTENTIAL CLAIM. IF NONE, STATE NONE.]

Notice to recipient: Under K.S.A. 58a-1005(a), a beneficiary may not commence a proceeding against a trustee for breach of trust more than one year after the date the beneficiary or the beneficiary's representative was sent a report that adequately disclosed a potential breach-of-trust claim and informed the beneficiary of the time allowed to commence a proceeding. Subsection (b) defines adequate disclosure by whether the information lets the beneficiary or representative know of the potential claim or should cause inquiry into it. If subsection (a) does not apply, subsection (c) measures a two-year period from the first of the trustee's removal, resignation, or death; termination of the beneficiary's interest; or termination of the trust. This notice does not itself establish that any potential claim was adequately disclosed.

Date this report was sent: [__/__/____]


XIII. BENEFICIARY OBJECTION MECHANISM

A qualified beneficiary who questions or objects to any item in this Report is encouraged to deliver a written objection to the Trustee at the address in Section II within [____] days of receipt. This informal step does not extend, shorten, or substitute for the statutory limitation period stated in Section XII.

If a judicial proceeding is needed, K.S.A. 58a-204(a) generally permits venue in the Kansas county where the trust’s principal place of administration has been, is, or will be located, or where real property in which the trust has an interest is located; it also provides a testamentary-trust estate-administration venue while the estate remains open. Confirm venue and available relief for the particular claim.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.

Checked against the law it cites

The statutes this template relies on are listed under Legal authority.

K.S.A. 58a-813(d), as amended by 2026 Kan. Sess. Laws ch. 98, § 13 (checked October 5, 2026): "The provisions of this section are inapplicable to qualified beneficiaries other than a surviving spouse so long as the surviving spouse is a qualified beneficiary of the trust, or holds any power of appointment over the entire trust estate, and where all other qualified beneficiaries are the issue of the surviving spouse."

2026 Kan. Sess. Laws ch. 98, § 11(c) (checked October 5, 2026): "The terms of a governing instrument may expand, restrict, eliminate or otherwise vary the right of a beneficiary to be informed of the beneficiary’s interest in a trust for a period of time"

K.S.A. 58a-603(a) (checked October 5, 2026): "While a trust is revocable, the duties of the trustee are owed exclusively to the settlor."

K.S.A. 58a-103(12) (checked October 5, 2026): ""Qualified beneficiary" means a beneficiary who, as of the date in question, either is eligible to receive mandatory or discretionary distributions of trust income or principal, or would be so eligible if the trust terminated on that date."
