The UTC states that a trust is valid if, under the law of the jurisdiction in which it was created, it was properly created. In most cases, this would be the law of the jurisdiction of the grantors domicile.
And when you do set up a trust in a state other that the state you reside in, there can be issues as to which state law applies to the trust. Attorneys refer to this as a conflict of laws issue. This issue frequently arises when a creditor tries to docHub assets in a trust.
