Colorado Code
Article 1.5 - Colorado Uniform Custodial Trust Act
§ 15-1.5-116. Limitations of Action Against Custodial Trustee

Source: L. 99: Entire article added, p. 1221, § 1, effective August 4.
In an effort to provide as comprehensive a statute as possible to inform the parties of substantially all of their obligations and rights, statutes of limitation are provided in this section. The limitations provided in this section are derived from the Uniform Probate Code, Sections 1-106 and 7-307, and from the Missouri Custodial Act.
The nature of the limitations imposed by the section are illustrated by the situation in which a custodial trustee is removed, resigns, or dies. If the former custodial trustee accounts as required under section 15-1.5-113 on removal or resignation, or the deceased custodial trustee's personal representative accounts, the two-year limitation of subsection (1)(a) applies. Should the former custodial trustee or the personal representative fail to account, then, subsection (1)(b) would apply to limit the time in which a proceeding to assert the claim could be commenced. This time would begin to run on the date the trust terminated. Of course, if the claim is one for fraud or concealment, the longer time limitation of subsection (2) would apply. In any event, should the beneficiary become incapacitated or die before the applicable time limitation had expired, the tolling provision of subsection (3) could postpone the time bar until two years after removal of the disability or death.
