§ 5810.02.
(A) A trustee who commits a breach of trust is liable to the beneficiaries affected for
the greater of the following: (1) The amount required to restore the value of the trust property and trust distributions
to what they would have been had the breach not occurred; (2) The profit the trustee made by reason of the breach. (B) Except as otherwise provided in this division, if more than one trustee is liable
to the beneficiaries for a breach of trust, a trustee is entitled to contribution
from the other trustee or trustees. A trustee is not entitled to contribution if the trustee was substantially more
at fault than another trustee or if the trustee committed the breach of trust in bad
faith or with reckless indifference to the purposes of the trust or the interests
of the beneficiaries. A trustee who received a benefit from the breach of trust is not entitled to contribution
from another trustee to the extent of the benefit received.
