386B.10-080 Exculpation of trustee. (1) A term of a trust relieving a trustee of liability for breach of trust is unenforceable to the extent that it: (a) Relieves the trustee of liability for breach of trust committed in bad faith or with reckless indifference to the purposes of the trust or the interests of the beneficiaries; or (b) Was inserted as the result of an abuse by the trustee of a fiduciary or confidential relationship to the settlor.

The requirements of this subsection are satisfied if the settlor was represented by independent counsel at the time the exculpatory term was drafted or caused to be drafted.
