Settlor has standing to seek reformation

California

In Bilafer v. Bilafer, 73 Cal. Rptr. 3d 880 (Cal. Ct. App.), the court held that the settlor of an irrevocable trust of which the settlor was neither a beneficiary or trustee has standing under the common law to petition the appropriate court for reformation of the trust on the basis of drafting errors that defeated his intent in creating the trust.
