Wis. Stat. § 701.0104

Knowledge

Known as the Wisconsin Trust Code

The act spans §§ 701.0101 to 701.1205 (108 sections).

2013 a. 92.

(1) Subject to sub. (2), a person has knowledge of a fact if any of the following applies:

(a) The person has actual knowledge of the fact.

(b) The person has received a notice or notification of the fact.

(c) The person has reason to know the fact from all the facts and circumstances known to the person at the time in question.

(2) An organization that conducts activities through employees has notice or knowledge of a fact involving a trust only from the time the information was received by an employee having responsibility to act for the trust, or would have been received by the employee if the organization had exercised reasonable diligence. An organization exercises reasonable diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the employee having responsibility to act for the trust and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Reasonable diligence does not require an employee of the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual’s regular duties or the individual knows a matter involving the trust would be materially affected by the information.
