Sec. 47. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a second-trust instrument must not relieve an authorized fiduciary from liability for breach of trust to a greater extent than the first-trust instrument.       (b) A second trust instrument may provide for indemnification of an authorized fiduciary of the first trust or another person acting in a fiduciary capacity under the first trust for any liability or claim that would have been payable from the first trust if the decanting power had not been exercised.       (c) A second-trust instrument must not reduce fiduciary liability in the aggregate.       (d) Subject to subsection (c), a second-trust instrument may divide and reallocate fiduciary powers among fiduciaries, including one (1) or more trustees, distribution advisors, investment advisors, trust protectors, or other persons, and relieve a fiduciary from liability for an act or failure to act of another fiduciary as permitted by the laws of this state other than this chapter.
