If mortgages are held in a common trust fund, the fiduciary may, but is not required to, take any one or more of the following actions:
Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 36a-370
- Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
- Fair market value: The price at which an asset would change hands in a transaction between a willing, informed buyer and a willing, informed seller.
- Fiduciary: A trustee, executor, or administrator.
- Fiduciary: means a person undertaking to act alone or jointly with others primarily for the benefit of another or others in all matters connected with its undertaking and includes a person acting in the capacity of trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, assignee, receiver, conservator, agent, custodian under the Connecticut Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, and acting in any other similar capacity. See Connecticut General Statutes 36a-2
- Mortgage: The written agreement pledging property to a creditor as collateral for a loan.
(1) A fiduciary may transfer up to five per cent of the net income derived by a common trust fund from mortgages held by such fund during any regular accounting period to a reserve account, provided no such transfer shall be made which would cause the amount in such account to exceed one per cent of the outstanding principal amount of all mortgages held in the fund. If established, the amount of such reserve account shall be deducted from the assets of the fund in determining the fair market value of the fund for the purposes of admissions and withdrawals. If a reserve account is established, at the end of each accounting period all interest payments which are due but unpaid with respect to mortgages in the fund shall be charged against the reserve account to the extent available and credited to income distributed to participants. In the event of subsequent recovery of such payments by the fund, the reserve account shall be credited with the amount recovered.
(2) A fiduciary may withdraw a defaulted mortgage from a common trust fund and segregate it for the benefit of all participants in the fund at the time of such withdrawal. In such event, the segregated mortgage shall be administered or realized upon for the benefit ratably of all participants in the common trust fund at the time of withdrawal.
(3) A fiduciary may purchase for its own account from a common trust fund any defaulted mortgage held by such fund, if in the judgment of its board of directors the cost of segregation of such mortgage would be greater than the difference between its market value and its principal amount plus interest and penalty charges due. If a fiduciary elects to so purchase the mortgage, it shall do so at its market value or at the sum of principal, interest and penalty charges, whichever is greater.
