§2097. Serving as officer of legal entity in which trust funds invested
A. No trustee of any trust created under the laws of this state shall serve as an officer, including without limitation the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, manager, or managing partner of any legal entity formed after the trust is created, other than a corporate trustee, in which trust funds are invested unless the settlor so authorizes such action in the instrument creating the trust or by a subsequent modification thereof. However, this shall not restrict the investment of trust funds in any bank or savings and loan association with deposits therein insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other agency or instrumentality of the federal government.
B. Any trustee who violates the provisions of this section shall be subject to removal for cause by a court of competent jurisdiction. The beneficiary of any such trust may offer proof to the court of competent jurisdiction that a trustee is acting in violation of this section, and upon presentation of such proof, the court shall remove the trustee.
C. All laws or parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, but the provisions hereof shall not be construed to repeal R.S. 9:2081 through R.S. 9:2096.
