There were a series of performance art type challenges to citizens united in Washington state, including one guy who wanted to marry a company (application denied - company was under 18 years old. Really.) And given Seattle’s economic history and trajectory, “permanent” trusts that can revive your frozen head in a couple of hundred years are not uncommonly sought after but difficult to achieve in the US. As you say, trust law is complex, not least because there are basically three overlapping trust systems. I think UK law is likely the one you’d want for these. Scottish based trust law includes the concept of reverting a trust for the common good, (based on an amazing amazing sequence of events where the sole surviving relative of a rich Scottish dude challenged his trust formed for the purpose of putting statues of himself up everywhere in Scotland — she won, trust dissolved, then when she died with no heirs or relatives, she tried to make the same bequest — the state itself dissolved the trust and took the money.) And, my very basic understanding of Civil law trusts is that they are less interested in the beneficial owner part of the trust and more interested in following civic/statutory rules. Well, maybe a civil law country would be a good place to start here actually. Obviously, IANAL.
