Holding
The court held that an inter vivos assignment of a beneficiary’s interest in a testamentary trust containing a valid spendthrift clause is unenforceable against the beneficiary even after the trust corpus has been distributed to him, as such an enforcement would contravene the testator’s intent to shield the beneficiary from both voluntary and involuntary alienation.
