(a) An income beneficiary is entitled to income from the date or event specified in the instrument, or, if none is specified, from the date an asset becomes subject to the trust. In the case of an asset becoming subject to the trust by reason of a will, it becomes subject to the trust as of the date of the death of the testator even though there is an intervening period of administration of the testator’s estate.
(b) In the administration of a decedent‘s estate or of an asset becoming subject to a trust by reason of a will or by reason of the death of a decedent, income which is earned or accrued to the date of death of the decedent but not yet payable, including, but not limited to, income in respect of a decedent, or which is due but not yet paid, shall be added to principal when received. In all other cases, income earned or accrued in whole or in part before the date when an asset becomes subject to the trust shall be income when received.
(c) Subject to subsections (d) and (e), on termination of an income interest, there shall be no apportionment of income as between the income beneficiary whose interest is terminated and the next beneficiary succeeding in interest, and income which has been collected by the trustee prior to the date of termination, or which is then earned or accrued but not yet payable, or which is then due but not yet paid, or which becomes payable to the trustee on or subsequent to the date of the termination, including, but not limited to, payments of interest, rents and annuities, whether periodic or otherwise, shall be paid as income to the next beneficiary succeeding in interest.
(d) Income collected by the trustee more than 12 months prior to the termination of an income interest and not disbursed or authorized or directed by the instrument to be added to principal, shall be paid to the income beneficiary whose interest is terminated or to his estate.
(e) To the extent necessary to qualify an interest for the marital deduction under the Federal Estate and Gift Tax laws, on termination of an income interest, income which has been collected by the trustee prior to the date of termination, or which is then earned or accrued but not yet payable, or which is then due but not yet paid, shall be paid to the income beneficiary whose interest is terminated or to his estate.
(f) Any limitation in an instrument on the income beneficiary in the nature of a spendthrift provision or similar restriction, or providing that income be paid to the beneficiary in person or upon his personal receipt, shall not be considered to provide for the distribution of income in a manner different than that specified in this Section.
(g) Corporate distributions to stockholders shall be treated as due on the day fixed by the corporation for the determination of stockholders of record entitled to distribution or, if no such date is fixed, on the date of declaration of the distribution by the corporation.
(b) In the administration of a decedent‘s estate or of an asset becoming subject to a trust by reason of a will or by reason of the death of a decedent, income which is earned or accrued to the date of death of the decedent but not yet payable, including, but not limited to, income in respect of a decedent, or which is due but not yet paid, shall be added to principal when received. In all other cases, income earned or accrued in whole or in part before the date when an asset becomes subject to the trust shall be income when received.
