If
a trustee determines that an allocation between principal and
income required by RCW 11.104A.180, 11.104A.190, 11.104A.200,
11.104A.210, or 11.104A.240 is insubstantial, the trustee may
allocate the entire amount to principal unless one of the
circumstances described in RCW 11.104A.020(c) applies to the
allocation. This power may be exercised by a cotrustee in the
circumstances described in RCW 11.104A.020(d) and may be released
for the reasons and in the manner described in RCW 11.104A.020(f). 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.
