            House Bill 3190 amends the Property Code to establish that a protector of a non-charitable trust has all the power and authority granted to the protector by the trust terms and that, if the terms of a non-charitable trust give a person the authority to direct, consent to, or disapprove a trustee's actual or proposed investment decisions, distribution decisions, or other decisions, the person is considered to be an advisor and a fiduciary when exercising that authority. The bill also addresses the liability of a trustee who must act in accordance with the direction of an advisor under the trust terms.
