    They are an attorney and the service is part of the law practice, or;

  2. b. 

    Otherwise;

    • There is a trade or business among the assets of the estate, and;

    • The fiduciary actively participates in the operation of this trade or business, and;

    • The fees of the fiduciary are related to the operation of the trade or business, or;
