(d) A fiduciary who complies with the requirements of subsection (a) is not liable to the beneficiaries or to the trust for the decisions or actions of the agent to whom the function was delegated.
(e) By accepting the delegation of a trust function from the fiduciary of a trust that is subject to the law of this state, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state.
