Amends GS 45-21.31 to allow the clerk of superior court in the county where a sale has been held to allow reasonable counsel fees to an attorney serving as a trustee where the attorney, on behalf of the trustee, renders services as an attorney that are different from the services normally performed by a trustee and of a type which would reasonably justify the retention of legal counsel by a trustee who is not licensed to practice law.
