Pennsylvania Orphans' Court
A trust exists that will eventually be divided between two families as a percentage of what was initially placed into the trust by each family.
If stocks are added to the trust by one family, what value should be placed on those stocks if they are all sold by the trust prior to the final distribution. Should the value attributed to the stocks be the sale price, or the value they were at 6 months prior to them being added to the trust (the only number available)?
I believe I saw a rule or citation in Pennsylvania trust law stating the sale value should be used, but I can't find it now.
Thanks for any help.
