This is in reference to ILLINOIS state law, specifically 760 ILCS.

I'm writing a revocable living trust for class. I've thumbed through 760 ILCS (Illinois' statutes on Trusts and Fiduciaries) and various example trusts online but I can't find where a termination clause in a revocable living trust is supposed to be placed, my teacher cryptically responded "In a logical place", but I can't find any specific mention of it in the statutes.

I'm not asking for an answer but if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be incredibly grateful.

My trusts have the termination language in the last article of the trust, "Miscellaneous Provisions". The location is the last page of the body of the trust, before signatures.

there is no place that a clause HAS TO GO, such that it is legal if it is here, and not legal if it is there.

you should place the declaration clause first.

not sure what you mean by termination clause.

i have a small trust termination section in my MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS article. this gives the trustee the ability to terminate the trust when the cost to administer the trust is high, compared to the relative amount that each beneficiary is receiving.

i divide my articles into sections, although this wording is not crucial.
