(a) Except as otherwise provided by the terms of the trust upon obtaining knowledge of a vacancy in the office of trust advisor or trust protector, the trustee shall be vested with any fiduciary power or duty that otherwise would be vested in the trustee but that by the terms of the trust was vested in the trust advisor or trust protector, until such time that the vacancy in the office of trust advisor or trust protector, as applicable, is filled.
(b) The vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as would a vacancy in trusteeship that is required to be filled, either as provided by Section 91-8-704(c) if the trust is a noncharitable trust, or as provided by Section 91-8-704(d) if the trust is a charitable trust. Section 91-8-704(e) shall also apply relative to trust advisors and trust protectors in the same manner as that subsection does to trustees and vacancies in trusteeship.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), a trustee shall not be liable for failing to exercise or assume any power or duty held by a trust advisor or trust protector and conferred upon the trustee by subsection (a) for the one-hundred-twenty-day period immediately following the date the trustee obtains knowledge of the vacancy.
