(2) This part 3 does not apply to a trust described in section 170(f)(2)(B), 642(c)(5), 664(d), or 2702 of the “Internal Revenue Code of 1986”, 26 U.S.C. sec. 170(f)(2)(B), 642(c)(5), 664(d), or 2702, as amended.

(3) An income trust to which this part 3 applies under subsection (1)(a) of this section may be converted to a unitrust under this part 3 regardless of the terms of the trust concerning distributions.

To the extent of the trust's interest in the estate, the estate may be administered as a unitrust, the administration of the estate as a unitrust may be discontinued, or the percentage or method used to calculate the unitrust amount may be changed, in the same manner as for a trust under this part 3.

(5) This part 3 does not create a duty to take or consider action under this part 3 or to inform a beneficiary about the applicability of this part 3.

(6) A fiduciary that in good faith takes or fails to take an action under this part 3 is not liable to a person affected by the action or inaction.
