A trustor, trustee, or beneficiary may but is not required to seek court affirmation of a modification or termination of a trust made pursuant to § 55-3-24. Upon petition by a trustor, trustee, or beneficiary, upon a finding that the provisions of § 55-3-24 have been met, the court shall affirm the proposed modification or termination of the trust. If any beneficiary does not consent to a requested modification or termination of a trust by the other beneficiaries or by the trustor and other beneficiaries, the court, with the consent of the other beneficiaries, and of the trustor, if required, may approve a requested modification or partial termination if the rights or interests of the beneficiaries who do not consent are not significantly impaired or adversely affected.
