§ 2201. Accountability of legal life tenant or fiduciary, committee or
conservator of legal life tenant
Every right granted by this article to or against a testamentary trustee and the fiduciary, committee of a testamentary trustee or conservator shall apply to a similar proceeding by or against a legal life tenant and by or against the fiduciary, committee or conservator of a legal life tenant.
Every right Article 22 gives to or against a testamentary trustee (or that trustee's fiduciary, committee or conservator) applies equally to or against a legal life tenant and that life tenant's fiduciary, committee or conservator. ★ A person who holds property for life under the law is accountable the same way a trustee is.
