In an action prosecuted or defended by a personal representative, trustee of an express
trust, or a person expressly authorized by statute, costs must be recovered as in an action by
and against a person prosecuting or defending in the person's own right, but such costs, by the
judgment, must be chargeable only upon or collected of the estate, fund, or party represented,
unless the court directs the same to be paid by the plaintiff or defendant personally for
