Section 163.557 - Circumstances under which trustee is authorized to reimburse settlor for tax on trust income or principal1. A governing trust instrument may authorize the trustee, in the sole discretion of the trustee or at the direction or with the consent of a directing trust adviser, to reimburse a settlor for all or a portion of tax on trust income or principal that is payable by the settlor under the law imposing such tax. In the sole discretion of the trustee, the trustee may pay such amount to the settlor directly or to an appropriate taxing authority on behalf of the settlor.2. A trustee or directing trust adviser is not liable to any person in exercising such discretion to reimburse or not reimburse a settlor for tax payable by the settlor on trust income or principal pursuant to subsection 1.3. The power of a trustee to make a payment to or for the benefit of a settlor in accordance with subsection 1 or the decision of a trustee to exercise such power in favor of the settlor must not cause the settlor to be treated as a beneficiary for purposes of the laws of this State.
