(b) with the written consent of a beneficiary.

(2) The court may if it thinks fit make such order, assigning by way of indemnity all or part of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust property to the trustee or (as the case may be) to any person claiming through the trustee, as seems to the court to be just.

(3) This section applies—

(a) irrespective of when the trust was created, but
