Absent clear and convincing evidence, a
settlor of an irrevocable trust shall not be deemed to be the alter ego of a
trustee of an irrevocable trust. If a party asserts that a settlor of an
irrevocable trust is the alter ego of a trustee of the trust, the following
factors, alone or in combination, are not sufficient evidence for a court to
find that the settlor controls or is the alter ego of a trustee:
1. The settlor has signed checks, made
disbursements or executed other documents related to the trust as the trustee
and the settlor is not a trustee, if the settlor has done so in isolated
incidents.
2. The settlor has made requests for
distributions on behalf of a beneficiary.
3. The settlor has made requests for the
trustee to hold, purchase or sell any trust property.
4. The settlor has engaged in any one of
the activities, alone or in combination, listed in NRS 163.4177 .
