2014-05-01

3107. In the absence of a designation of law that is expressly made in the juridical act creating a trust or that may be inferred with certainty from the terms of that act, or if the law designated does not provide for trusts, the law that applies to the trust is the law with which the trust is most closely connected.

To determine the applicable law, account is taken in particular of the place of administration of the trust, the place where the trust property is situated, the residence or the establishment of the trustee, the objects of the trust and the places where they are to be fulfilled.

Any severable aspect of a trust, particularly its administration, may be governed by a different law.
