Sec. 32. (a) Except as stated in subsections (b) and (c), the trustee, by provisions of the trust, can be relieved of liability for breach of trust.

(c) A provision that relieves the trustee of liability for breach of trust is ineffective if it is inserted in the trust instrument as the result of an abuse by the trustee of a fiduciary or confidential relationship to the settlor.
