Reformation of Trust to Carry Out Charitable Intent (Application of Cy Pres)

In Re: Trust of Lowry, Henry App. No. 7-07-07, 2008-Ohio-517. A charitable trust was created expressly for the beautification and upkeep of three cemeteries located in Henry County, Ohio. The trustee sought to terminate the trust. The Ohio attorney general's office, involved as part of its statutory duty to supervise and ensure the intent of a charitable trust be carried out, sought to have the trust reformed under the Cy Pres Doctrine. The court of appeals agreed that the trust administration was not impracticable and should not be terminated and could not be reformed.
