(d) Subject to subsection (c) of this section, a second-trust instrument may divide and reallocate fiduciary powers among fiduciaries, including one or more trustees or trust directors, and relieve a fiduciary from liability for an act or failure to act of another fiduciary as permitted by the law of this state, other than sections 45a-545a to 45a-545cc , inclusive.
