Delegation of functions by trustee
Sec. 9. (a) A trustee may delegate investment and management
functions that a prudent trustee of comparable skills could properly
delegate under the circumstances. The trustee shall exercise
reasonable care, skill, and caution in:
(1) selecting an agent;
(2) establishing the scope and terms of the delegation,
consistent with the purposes and terms of the trust; and
(3) reviewing the agent's actions periodically in order to
monitor the agent's performance and compliance with the terms
of the delegation.
(b) In performing a delegated function, an agent owes a duty to
the trust to exercise reasonable care.
(c) By accepting the delegation of a trust function from the trustee
of a trust that is subject to the law of Indiana, an agent submits to the
jurisdiction of the courts of Indiana.
