§2350.2. Application of other Louisiana Trust Code provisions
A. Whenever the provisions of this Chapter are silent and except as otherwise
provided in this Chapter, the provisions of Chapter 2 of this Code Title shall apply, and
whenever the provisions of Chapter 2 are silent, then the provisions of the Louisiana Trust
Code shall apply. The Louisiana Trust Code shall not be applied in a contradictory manner
to Chapter 2 of this Code Title. The provisions of neither the Louisiana Trust Code nor
Chapter 2 shall be applied in a contradictory manner to the provisions of this Chapter to
invalidate a trust authorized pursuant to this Chapter, to adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of a special charitable trust, nor to prevent any tax deduction for contributions to the
trust.
B. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, a special charitable trust shall be
subject to the provisions of the Louisiana Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional
Funds Act. A special charitable trust shall be considered an "institution" for purposes of R.S.
9:2337.2(4), and the trust assets shall not be considered funds "held for an institution by a
trustee that is not an institution" pursuant to R.S. 9:2337.2(5)(b) although the special
charitable trust has "individuals" as trustees.
C. The trust may be amended only with court approval. The trust shall not be
amended to relieve a trustee of his fiduciary obligations or to waive a conflict of interest or
ethical rules.
