(iii) Periodically reviewing the agent's actions 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 to comply with the terms of the delegation.

(c) A trustee who complies with subsection (a) of this section is not liable to the beneficiaries or to the trust for an action of the agent to whom the function was delegated.

(d) By accepting a delegation of powers or duties from the trustee of a trust that is subject to the law of the state of Wyoming, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Wyoming even if the agency agreement provides otherwise, and the agent may be made a party to any action or proceeding if the issues relate to a decision, action or inaction of the agent.
