law: Indian Trusts Act, 1882 
  32. Right to reimbursement of expenses 
  Every trustee may reimburse himself, or pay or discharge out of the
  
  trust-property, all expenses properly incurred in or about the execution of the
  
  trust, or the realization, preservation or benefit of the trust-property, or
  
  the protection or support of the beneficiary.
  If he pays such expenses out of his own pocket he has a first
  
  charge upon the trust-property for such expenses and interest thereon; but such
  
  charge (unless the expenses have been incurred with the sanction of a principal
  
  civil court of original jurisdiction) shall be enforced only by prohibiting any
  
  disposition of the trust-property without previous payment of such expenses and
  
  interest.
  If the trust property fail, the trustee is entitled to recover
  
  from the beneficiary personally on whose behalf he acted, and at whose request,
  
  expressed or implied, he made the payment, the amount of such expenses.
  Right to be recouped for erroneous over-payment
  Where a trustee has by mistake made an over-payment to the
  
  beneficiary, he may reimburse the trust-property out of the beneficiary's
  
  interest. If such interest fail, the trustee is entitled to recover from the
  
  beneficiary personally the amount of such over-payment.
