Does a Trustee, Acting Alone, Have Standing to Seek Trust Reformation? The enactment of Florida’s new Trust Code invited many unanswered questions, and the question of whether a trustee, acting solely in her capacity as trustee, has standing to seek reformation of a trust was presented to our appellate court in Reid v. Temple Judea, 994 So.2d 1146 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2007). The case involved a trust executed by Edgar Sonder who named Ceclia as trustee. On May 17, 2000, Edgar Sonder executed a trust naming himself as trustee. After Sonder’s death, his estate was probated and finding trust funds insufficient to pay all of the gifts provided for in Sonder’s will, Reid moved to abate the enumerated pecuniary gifts proportionately. Reid also claimed that the apartment was a devise, not subject to abatement.
