1. If a trustee makes or expects to make a principal disbursement described in this section, the trustee may transfer an appropriate amount from income to principal in one or more accounting periods to reimburse principal or to provide a reserve for future principal disbursements.
2. Principal disbursements to which subsection 1 applies include all of the following, but only to the extent that the trustee has not been and does not expect to be reimbursed by a third party:
a. An amount chargeable to income but paid from principal because it is unusually large, including extraordinary repairs.
b. A capital improvement to a principal asset, whether in the form of changes to an existing asset or the construction of a new asset, including special assessments.
c. Disbursements made to prepare property for rental, including leasehold improvements and broker’s commissions.
d. Periodic payments on an obligation secured by a principal asset to the extent that the amount transferred from income to principal for depreciation is less than the periodic payments.
e. Disbursements described in section 637.502, subsection 1, paragraph “g”.
3. If the asset whose ownership gives rise to the disbursements becomes subject to a successive income interest after an income interest ends, a trustee may continue to transfer amounts from income to principal as provided in subsection 1.
