Michigan Department of Attorney General
Supervision of Trustees for Charitable Purposes Act
Registration and Inventory Form for Trusts
Who should file this form? See the optional flow chart on page 5. However, generally, the
following trusts should file:
• Trusts with a current charitable interest (including charitable lead trusts and living or
revocable trusts that are now irrevocable);
• Charitable remainder trusts without a current charitable interest if one of the following
is true:
the charitable remainder beneficiaries have not been irrevocably named;
a charitable remainder beneficiary may be controlled by the grantor, testator,
executor, trustee, or a member of the grantor's or testator's family.
Who should not file this form?
• Trusts with no charitable interest;
• Trusts that are revocable;
• Trusts with remote, contingent charitable interests (e.g., a charity will only receive a
distribution if the grantor’s spouse and children all predecease the grantor).
(Corporations and unincorporated associations should not use this form. See form CTS-05 available on
our website at www.michigan.gov/agcharity.)
