Del. Ch. Ct. R. 102
Form of Consents to the Relief Sought in the Petition
(a) Consents to the relief sought in the petition shall be
submitted in the following form:
(1) Each consent shall have a signature line with the
name of the individual signing the consent typed or
printed underneath.
(2) Each consent shall be executed by (i) the
beneficiary personally; (ii) the beneficiary’s attorney ad
litem; (iii) a person authorized to represent the
beneficiary under 12 Del. C. § 3547 or any successor
statute; or (iv) a person authorized by applicable law to
represent the beneficiary as to the petition (such as, but
not limited to, the beneficiary’s attorney-in-fact or the
Attorney General in the case of certain charitable
beneficiaries).
(3) Each consent shall be acknowledged by a person
authorized to notarize documents (or a similar official if
a document is signed in a foreign jurisdiction) unless
there is justifiable cause why the consents cannot be
acknowledged and the Court waives the requirement of
an acknowledgment by separate order.
(4) Each consent shall affirm that the party executing
the consent has been provided with the petition and all
disclosures and documents required by Court of
Chancery Rules 100(b), 100(c), and 101, and has
received, read, understood, and been provided with an
opportunity to consult with counsel regarding the
consent and the materials provided.
(5) A consent may, but need not, waive notice of draft
reports, reports, hearings or other matters relating to
the petition.
(6) Each consent shall include a statement in which
the consenting party consents to the jurisdiction of the
courts of this State as a proper forum for (i) the
resolution of all matters pertaining to the
administration of the trust for so long as the situs of the
trust is Delaware and (ii) any future matters arising out
of or relating to the subject matter of the petition.
(b) A statement of non-objection is deemed a consent for
purposes of this Rule.
