ORS 130.680 UTC 807. Delegation by trustee

A trustee may delegate duties and powers that a prudent trustee of comparable skills could properly delegate under the circumstances. The trustee shall exercise reasonable care, skill and caution in:

Selecting an agent;

Establishing the scope and terms of the delegation, consistent with the purposes and terms of the trust; and

Periodically reviewing the agent’s actions in order to monitor the agent’s performance and compliance with the terms of the delegation.

In performing a delegated function, an agent owes a duty to the trust to exercise reasonable care to comply with the terms of the delegation.

A trustee who complies with subsection (1) of this section is not liable to the beneficiaries or to the trust for an action of the agent.

By accepting a delegation of powers or duties from the trustee of a trust that is subject to this state’s law, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state.
