72-34-605. Diversification -- duty of trustee -- exception. - Montana Statutes

     72-34-605. Diversification -- duty of trustee -- exception. (1) Subject to subsection (2), in making and implementing investment decisions, the trustee has a duty to diversify the investments of the trust unless, under the circumstances, it is not prudent to do so.
     (2) If trust assets include farm or ranch property, a closely held family business, timber interests, or interests in oil, gas, or minerals, the trustee may elect to retain those assets unless otherwise directed by a majority of adult trust beneficiaries. A trustee's exercise of discretion to retain assets of the character described in this subsection is not a breach of the trustee's duty to diversify investments.
