380. (a) A fiduciary who is or will be engaged in war service may
delegate the fiduciary's powers, including discretionary powers, to a

(b) Approval of the court, on petition of the original fiduciary,
the delegate, or an interested person, is required for delegation.

determines that powers to be delegated are purely personal to the
original fiduciary.

382. After the expiration of the original fiduciary's war service,
the court may, on petition of the original fiduciary, authorize the
original fiduciary to resume the exercise of the fiduciary functions,
and the delegated powers cease.

383. The original fiduciary is not liable for the acts or omissions
of the delegate.
