The testator or settlor of any trust affected by this article, may by provision in the instrument creating the trust, or by an amendment of the trust if a settlor reserved the power to amend the trust, relieve his or her trustee from any or all of the duties which would otherwise be placed upon him or her by this article, or add duties to those imposed by this article on his or her trustee with regard to inventories and accountings: Provided, That the court may, upon the application of any beneficiary or some person in his or her behalf, require the performance of the duties herein otherwise required.
