1. A trustee may delegate functions of investment and management that a prudent trustee of comparable skills could properly delegate under the circumstances. The trustee shall exercise reasonable care, skill and caution in:
(a) Selecting an agent;
(b) Establishing the scope and terms of the delegation, consistent with the purposes and terms of the trust; and
(c) Periodically reviewing the agent’s actions in order to verify the agent’s performance and compliance with the terms of the delegation.
2. 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.
3. A trustee who complies with the requirements of subsection 1 is not liable to the beneficiaries or to the trust for the decisions or actions of the agent to whom the function was delegated.
4. By accepting the delegation of a function from the trustee of a trust that is subject to the law of this state, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state.
