§ 163.110. Powers of cotrustees: Exercisable by majority if more than two cotrustees; liability of dissenting cotrustee; unanimous action required if only two cotrustees; petition of interested person

1. Unless it is otherwise provided by the trust instrument or by court order, any

power vested in three or more trustees may be exercised by a majority of the trustees.

A trustee who has not joined in exercising a power is not liable to the beneficiaries

or to others for the consequences of the exercise of power and a dissenting trustee

is not liable for the consequences of an act in which that trustee joined at the direction

of the majority trustees, if the trustee expressed his or her dissent in writing to

any of his or her cotrustees at or before the time of the joinder. 2. This section does not excuse a cotrustee from liability for inactivity in the administration

of the trust nor for failure to attempt to prevent a breach of trust. 3. Except as otherwise authorized in the trust instrument or by order of the court,

a power vested in two trustees may only be exercised by unanimous action. 4. If the trustees cannot exercise a power vested in them in a manner permitted by

this section, an interested person may petition the court for appropriate instructions

pursuant to NRS 164.010 and 164.015 .
