469.435. Insubstantial amounts may be allocated to principal, exceptions — presumption of insubstantial amount, when. — If a trustee determines that an allocation between principal and income required by section 469.437, 469.439, 469.441, 469.443 or 469.449 is insubstantial, the trustee may allocate the entire amount to principal unless one of the circumstances described in subsection 3 of section 469.405 applies to the allocation. This power may be exercised by a cotrustee in the circumstances described in subsection 4 of section 469.405 and may be released for the reasons and in the manner described in subsection 5 of section 469.405. An allocation is presumed to be insubstantial if:
(1) The amount of the allocation would increase or decrease net income in an accounting period, as determined before the allocation, by less than ten percent; or
(2) The value of the asset producing the receipt for which the allocation would be made is less than ten percent of the total value of the trust's assets at the beginning of the accounting period.
