“Go ahead and sue me, you are paying for my defense anyway”

In Colorado, can a trustee use trust assets to defend a lawsuit against that same trustee, and what does that mean to the beneficiary?

In general, Colorado follows the traditional American Rule that, absent statutory authority, an express contractual provision, or a court rule, the parties in a lawsuit are required to bear their own legal expenses. See Bernhard v. Farmers Ins. Exch., 915 P.2d 1285 (Colo.1996).
