Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. On petition or ex parte application of
a beneficiary or trustee, the court, with or without bond, may enter an ex
parte order restraining a trustee from performing specified acts of
administration, disbursement or distribution, or exercising any powers or
discharging any duties of the office, or enter any other order to secure proper
performance of the duties of the office to be effective until further order of
the court. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if it appears to the
court that the trustee otherwise may take action that would jeopardize unreasonably
the interest of the petitioner, another beneficiary or the trust, the court may
enter the ex parte order. A person with whom the personal representative may
transact business may be made a party to the ex parte order.
2. An ex parte order entered pursuant to
subsection 1 must be set for hearing within 10 days after entry of the ex parte
order, unless the parties otherwise agree, or on a date the court otherwise
determines is in the best interest of the trust.
3. Notice of entry of the ex parte order
entered pursuant to subsection 1 must be given by the petitioner or applicant
to the trustee and the attorney of record of the trustee, if any, to any other
party named as a party in the ex parte order and as otherwise directed by the
court.
4. The court may impose a fine on a
beneficiary or trustee who obtains an ex parte order pursuant to this section
without probable cause.
5. The court may, at any time, terminate
an ex parte order entered pursuant to subsection 1 on its own motion or upon petition
of the trustee if it no longer appears to the court that the trustee otherwise
may take action that would jeopardize unreasonably the interest of the
petitioner, another beneficiary or the trust.
