206                                          LAWS OF MARYLAND                           [Ch. 11

§§2-104 and
13-106(b).

TITLE 14. TRUSTS.

SUBTITLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

14-101. GENERAL JURISDICTION OF COURTS CONCERNING
TRUSTS.

A COURT HAVING EQUITY JURISDICTION HAS GENERAL
SUPERINTENDING POWER WITH RESPECT TO TRUSTS. THE
PROVISIONS OF TITLES 1 THROUGH 13 OF THIS ARTICLE DO NOT
AFFECT OR SUPERSEDE THIS POWER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 16,, §108. An amendment made to this
section in 1951 is deleted because the
Commission feels that the common law rules
with respect to the termination of inter vivos
trusts should apply in every instance.

14-102. APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF ESTATES
OF DECEDENTS LAW TO TRUSTS.

IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPRESS LANGUAGE TO THE CONTRARY,
THE ROLES CONTAINED IN §§1-202, 1-203, 1-204, 1-205,
1-206, 1-207, 1-208, 1-209, AND 1-210 OF THIS ARTICLE
SHALL BE APPLIED IN CONSTRUING THE TERMS OF AN INTER
VIVOS TRUST. WHENEVER ANY OF [[THESE]] THOSE STATUTORY
SECTIONS REFER TO A "WILL," "ESTATE," OR SIMILAR TERMS
RELEVANT PRIMARILY TO WILLS AND ESTATES OR THE TAKERS
UNDER THEM, THE TERMS SHALL BE MODIFIED TO MEAN "TRUST
INSTRUMENT," "TRUST," OR SIMILAR TERMS TO REFLECT THE
APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THOSE SECTIONS TO INTER
VIVOS TRUSTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Many of the rules of construction in
the Estates of Decedents Lav are applicable
only to wills and testamentary trusts. There
is no reason why those rules should not also
be applicable to inter vivos trusts. The
purpose of this section is to accomplish that
result. Other provisions of the Estates of
Decedents Law which are expressly applicable
to inter vivos trusts are §§4-107, 9-102,
11-101, 11-102, 11-103, 11-104, 11-105,
11-106, and 11-107.
14-103. COMMISSIONS.

(A) GENERAL RULE.

TRUST WHOSE DUTIES COMPRISE THE COLLECTION AND
