Legal and financial terms used in this chapter are deemed to refer to equivalent terms used by the country in which the international trust entity is organized. This chapter and the financial institutions codes may not be construed to authorize any international trust entity to conduct trust business, as defined in s. 658.12, from an office in this state.
