  1. TITLE 72. ESTATES, TRUSTS, AND FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIPS
  2. CHAPTER 38. MONTANA UNIFORM TRUST CODE
  3. Part 9. Uniform Prudent Investor Act

(1) Subject to subsection (2), in making and implementing investment decisions, the trustee has a duty to diversify the investments of the trust unless, under the circumstances, it is not prudent to do so.

(2) If trust assets include farm or ranch property, a closely held family business, timber interests, or interests in oil, gas, or minerals, the trustee may elect to retain those assets. A trustee's exercise of discretion to retain assets of the character described in this subsection is not a breach of the trustee's duty to diversify investments.
