A. A trustee who has incurred personal liability for a tort committed in the administration of the trust is entitled to indemnity from the trust estate if:
(1) The tort was a common incident of the kind of business activity in which the trustee was properly engaged for the trust, or,
(2) Although the tort was not a common incident of such activity, if neither the trustee nor an officer or employee of the trustee was guilty of personal fault in incurring the liability.
B. If a trustee has committed a tort that has increased the value of the trust property, he is entitled to indemnity from the trust estate to the extent of the increase in value, even though he would not otherwise be entitled to indemnity.
