- (1) misappropriated or otherwise wrongfully dealt with the trust property;
- (2) expressly consented to, participated in, or agreed with the trustee to be liable for a breach of trust committed by the trustee;
- (3) failed to repay an advance or loan of trust funds;
- (4) failed to repay a distribution or disbursement from the trust in excess of that to which the beneficiary is entitled; or
- (5) breached a contract to pay money or deliver property to the trustee to be held by the trustee as part of the trust.
- (b) Unless the terms of the trust provide otherwise, the trustee is authorized to offset a liability of the beneficiary to the trust estate against the beneficiary's interest in the trust estate, regardless of a spendthrift provision in the trust.
