Full text
(a) A trustee or designated trustee who acts in good faith is entitled to reimbursement out of the trust property, with interest as appropriate, for:
(1) Expenses that were properly incurred in the administration of the trust, including the defense or prosecution of any action, whether successful or not, unless the trustee is determined to have wilfully or wantonly committed a material breach of trust; or
(2) To the extent necessary to prevent unjust enrichment of the trust, expenses that were not properly incurred in the administration of the trust.
(b) An advance by the trustee or designated trustee of money for the protection of the trust gives rise to a lien against trust property to secure reimbursement with reasonable interest.
