      (a) A person other than the settlor;

      (c) Both the settlor and another person if the writing meets the requirements of paragraph (b).

      2.  For the purposes of this section, a writing:

      (a) Is “irrevocable” even if the settlor may prevent a distribution from the trust or holds a testamentary special power of appointment or similar power.

      (b) Does not “require” a distribution to the settlor if the trust instrument provides that the settlor may receive it only in the discretion of another person.

      3.  Except for the power of the settlor to make distributions to himself or herself without the consent of another person, the provisions of this section shall not be construed to prohibit the settlor of a spendthrift trust from holding other powers under the trust, whether or not the settlor is a cotrustee, including, without limitation, the power to remove and replace a trustee, direct trust investments and execute other management powers.
