Provisions contained within trust agreements called “Exculpatory Provisions” are those that relieve the trustee from liability for certain acts that could otherwise be considered to be a breach of duty(ies) as a Trustee. Examples: 1.) the settlor (the person who is creating the trust) can specify that the Trustee is relieved from liability for certain obligations for which it would otherwise be liable under either the Texas Trust Code or by common law; or 2.) can direct or permit the Trustee to do certain things that would otherwise violate a Trustee duty.
