No executor, trustee or other fiduciary may take, or refuse to take, any action, or make or retain any investment, the result of which would defeat an otherwise available marital deduction under the Internal Revenue Code or under the laws of the state of Tennessee, if the obvious and expressed intent of the testator or settlor was to take advantage of this deduction.
