We will be starting a period posting of certain terms or abbreviations in the estate planning world that you might find useful or just insightful. The first is the usage of “u/a/d” or “uad” after the trust name in a trust document. The term “u/a/d” stands for “under agreement dated”. The date of the
creation or execution of a trust is important for many reasons.t Our Firm does not typically use “u/a/d” or “uad”, as we would rather write out the date executed in its entirety.
