2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 11.97.010: Power of trustor — Trust provisions control.

The trustor of a trust may by the provisions of the trust relieve the trustee from any or all of the duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed by chapters 11.95, 11.98, 11.100, and 11.104A RCW and RCW 11.106.020, or may alter or deny any or all of the privileges and powers conferred by those provisions; or may add duties, restrictions, liabilities, privileges, or powers to those imposed or granted by those provisions. If any specific provision of those chapters is in conflict with the provisions of a trust, the provisions of the trust control whether or not specific reference is made in the trust to any of those chapters, except as provided in RCW 11.98.200 through 11.98.240 and 11.95.100 through 11.95.150. In no event may a trustee be relieved of the duty to act in good faith and with honest judgment.
