IN THE MATTER OF

:'l"O. ESPR014544

THE ESTATE OF

APPLICATION

JOHN H. CRISS

TO REFORM TRUST

COMES NOW Renae Jacobson a/k/a Ranae Jacobsen, the Personal Representative for
the John H. Criss Estate, and states to the Court as follows:

1. The Last Will and Testament of John H. Criss provides that the residue of the estate be
held by the John H. Criss Trust to be administered pursuant to the terms of that trust by Renae
Jacobson, Dwain Reece, and the Mayor of Sac City, Iowa. The purpose of the trust is for the
beautification of and general improvements to the City of Sac City as the Co-Trustees in their
unrestricted discretion believe will improve and beautify the City of Sac City regardless of the
existence of other funds available for that purpose; however the Co-Trustees shall not use the
funds in this trust for the improvement of sanitary sewers, streets, or sidewalks.
2. The trust provisions also provide that the Co-Trustees have the power and authority to
do any act or thing reasonably necessary or advisable for the proper administration and
distribution of the estate, including all powers, duties, and responsibilities provided expressly for
trustees in the Iowa Code.
3. Iowa Code Section 633A.2206(2) provides that the terms of a trust may be construed
or modified in a manner that does not violate the settlor's probable intent, to achieve the settlor's
tax objectives.

E-FILED 2015 DEC 08 11:43 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

4. The testator intended that the trust which forms the residue of this estate be treated as
a tax-exempt entity for purposes of Federal Estate Tax, Federal and State income tax, and Iowa
Inheritance Tax purposes. In order to claim this tax-exempt status, a determination letter needs
to be received from the Internal Revenue Service tha.t an Application for Tax-Exempt Status has
been approved.
5. The aforesaid determination letter will bt:: issued in a more expeditious manner if the
trust is reformed to specifically provide that the trust assets can only be used for exempt
charitable purposes and that none of the trust assets nor any of the income from the trust assets
would inure to the benefit of any private individual and that no part of the activities of the trust
would be involved in any attempt to influence legislation by propaganda or otherwise.
6. The Personal Representative proposes that subparagraph A of Article XIX of the
decedent's Last Will and Testament be reformed to read as follows:
XIX
All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever kind and nature and
wheresoever situated, I give to the Trustees identified below to be administered under the terms
and conditions of the John H. Criss Trust.
JOHN H. CRISS TRUST
A

The purpose of this Trust is to provide for the beautification of and general improvements
to the City of Sac City, Iowa, as the Trustees, in their unrestricted discretion, believe will
improve and beautify the City of Sac City, Iowa, regardless of the existence of other funds
available for that purpose; however, the Trustees shall not use the funds in this Trust for the
improvement of sanitary sewers, streets or sidewalks. All or part of the funds can be used at any

E-FILED 2015 DEC 08 11:43 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

time by my Trustees in their discretion, and when all the assets funding this Trust have been
exhausted, the Trust shall be declared closed, and the Trustees be exonerated and discharged
from further responsibility. Provided, however, that this Trust is formed and must be operated
exclusively for exempt charitable purposes as

defin~d

by Second 501(c )(3) of the Internal

Revenue Code. The Trust may not undertake any a~::tivities not permitted by Section 50l(c )(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Distribution of Trus1: income and principal are to be made only to
a qualified charitable organization that promotes any one or more of the purposes above stated.
No part of the net earnings of this Trust may inure, in whole or in part, to the benefit of
any individual as the terms "individual" and "inure" are defined by Treasury Regulation Section
1.501(a)(l-l)c. In addition, under no circumstanceH may any of the assets of this Trust be
distributed to or for any person, agency, or organization who or which is not an exempt
organization under the requirements of Section 501 (c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Further,
the Trust may be modified at any time or times by the foundation Trustees so as to conduct the
affairs ofthe Trust in accordance with the provisions of Section 501(a)(3) ofthe Internal
Revenue Code (and as governed by any future amendment to or revision of the Internal Revenue
Code.) No modification would be permitted that would cause this Trust to be classified as or to
be treated as a non-exempt charitable organization.
7. The designated Trustees of the John H. Criss Trust have consented to the relief
requested by this Application and have waived further notice or hearing in this matter.
8. The effective date of this reformation shall be treated as of the date of death of John H.
Criss.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned respectfully requests that the Court approve this
Application and authorize the reformation and modification of the Trust established under the

E-FILED 2015 DEC 08 11:43 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Last Will and Testament of John H. Criss according to the terms of the reformation contained in
this Application; and for such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.
