§2282. Method of transfer of control of educational, charitable or religious trusts; grounds
When a majority of the local beneficiaries of any educational, charitable or religious Trust (all as defined in R.S. 9:2281) shall determine that there exists a deep-seated and irreconcilable hostility or tension between them and any or all of the trustees or others in authority exercising control over the administration of such Trust; then, and in such event, said majority of the local beneficiaries may file a petition in the District Court of the parish wherein any part of the corpus of said Trust is situated, setting forth the grounds for relief as stated herein and praying for a decree of the court discharging all existing trustees and all others in authority exercising control over the administration of such trust (by whatever name designated) and for the appointment of other trustees who shall, upon their appointment and qualification in conformity with the terms of the decree of the court, thereupon become vested with complete control and authority over the corpus of said Trust. All successor-trustees so appointed and qualified shall be citizens of the state of Louisiana, residing within the jurisdiction of the court appointing them, and who shall be a local beneficiary as defined in R.S. 9:2281(2). However, before entering a decree removing the existing trustees and all others in authority exercising control over the administration of such Trust and appointing successor-trustees, the Court shall first find affirmatively that the conditions set forth in this Section as alleged in the petition actually exist. The acting trustees and all others in authority with respect to said Trust shall be made parties defendant to the petition; shall be summoned in the manner provided by law; and shall be afforded every statutory right to plead, answer or except to the petition filed against them, and to appear and be heard in opposition thereto.
