Prior Acts. The sources of Section 15-1-429 are Section 13(b) of the 1962 Uniform Act, which permits a trustee to "regularize distributions," if charges against income are unusually large, by using "reserves or other reasonable means" to withhold sums from income distributions; Section 13(c)(3) of the 1962 Uniform Act, which authorizes a trustee to establish an allowance for depreciation out of income if principal is used for extraordinary repairs, capital improvements and special assessments; and Section 12(3) of the 1931 Uniform Act, which permits the trustee to spread income expenses of unusual amount "throughout a series of years." Section 15-1-429 contains a more detailed enumeration of the circumstances in which this authority may be used, and includes in subsection (2)(d) the express authority to use income to make principal payments on a mortgage if the depreciation charge against income is less than the principal payments on the mortgage.
