A non-resident trustee is subject to the long-arm statute

An out-of-state trustee who performed legal services for a Kentucky resident in connection with the creation of the trust is subject to the jurisdiction of the Kentuckycourts in a suit by a successor beneficiary who is a Kentucky resident.

The court found that the facts alleged by the plaintiff-beneficiary established sufficient minimum contacts to invoke the state’s long arm statute.  Cummings v. Pitman, 239 S.W.3d 77 (Ky. 2007).
