Neither the transferor nor any other natural person who is a nonresident of this state nor an entity that is not authorized by the law of this state to act as a trustee or whose activities are not subject to supervision as provided in § 55-16-3 may be considered a qualified person. However, nothing in this chapter precludes a transferor from appointing, removing, or replacing one or more co-trustees, trust advisors, or trust protectors, regardless of whether or not such trust advisor or trust protector is a fiduciary.
