Spendthrift trust was invalid under state law. Analyzing § 541(c)(2), the Chapter 7 debtor’s interest in a spendthrift trust was property of the estate and could be administered by the trustee. The provisions of the trust were found to be unenforceable as a violation of public policy under Michigan law. Kohut v. Lewiston Living Trust (In re Lewiston), B.R., 2015 WL 3894609 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. June 24, 2015).
