(b) A term of a trust providing that the interest of a beneficiary is held subject to a 'spendthrift trust,' or words of similar import, is sufficient to restrain both voluntary and involuntary transfer of the beneficiary’s interest. (c) A beneficiary may not transfer an interest in a trust in violation of a valid spendthrift provision and, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a creditor or assignee of the beneficiary may not reach the interest or a distribution by the trustee before its receipt by the beneficiary.
